I feel that sometimes, the Church has grown to captialize and focus on capturing the zeal and passion of the youths, the young vibrant people.

Yet, I feel that more substantial growth lies in the hands of embracing the oft disregarded wisdom of the older and mature Christians. Sure, they might not jump and shout praises like so many christians youth look for during their service. But their resilience and faith, through the physical and mental difficulties they have gone through, are going through and will go through in the future are such a testimony for the youths these days.

They truly show that all that is to God is not just 'feeling good' but more a process of learning to be content, to trust, even when circumstances are dire.

Uncle Tony, you're an inspiration.
