[Faith-talk] Serving the Lord as old age advances

[andrew edgcumbe]

i often feel the same way except i am just 29.  not saying all but allot of
people not just blind people are not going to church no more or  want
nothing to do with Jesus things like that.  the thing is this i myself
often sometimes loose excitement even for church.
