Morning: Psalms 66, 67; Ezekiel 3:4-11; Acts 10:34-44
I’m a Baby Boomer.  We feel entitled.  We believe we should get what we want, right?  Jesus disagrees.  He says to Peter: “When you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go.”  Could this mean, perhaps, that maturity should make us ready to give up more not less, to control less not more?  Will we Boomers ever grow up?
