Mid-life

While driving around today, I listened to CBC radio, 740 AM dial, as I usually do in the car when by myself.  I enjoyed this episode on mid-life quite a bit.  Rarely, does this subject get treated in a thoughtful manner although it is a rather jarring time of life, often Job-like, as the psychiatrist mentions.

The first comment on the website regarding the show asks: "What about women?"  It is a good question.  The program did not deal with women, at all.  But we can't have everything at once.  This was a good episode.  Perhaps, we can have another on women.

Having Christian faith would, of course, add a completely different dimension to this, yet.  I would not want to go through this without prayer and song, faith and faith community.
