The Long Term

While I am not suggesting any specific conclusion to this forthcoming thought, the concept should be thought through and appropriately applied.  The thought is this.  It occurred to me that nowhere in Scripture and nowhere in the writings of the church fathers are the practices of vacation and retirement found.  This whole idea of living a life of ease and comfort, as one grows old, is completely foreign to the Christian worldview.
How does one think of this?  The fact that vacation and retirement are constructs of the modern American mind ought to really make us pause and consider how right or wrong it may be.  Ask yourself how you ought to think of this and apply this to yourself.
