THE COMFORT OF IRRELEVANCY

Christ In Winter: Reflections on Faith for the Years of Winter

As I worried about growing irrelevant in old age, my YGLF [Young Gal Lutheran Friend], Rebecca, comforted me by saying [only slightly paraphrased], “You’ve always been irrelevant. You just haven’t realized it until now.”

Yes, that is comforting. I’m the same person I’ve always been. Old age has not diminished my essential being.
