I’m a little over a year from turning fifty and I’m starting to think about what I should have learned in half a century and what will happen in my second half century. I’ve stared reading a little to get my brain started processing the two questions. I’d recommend Jimmy Buffets A Pirate Looks At Fifty. It’s a travel journal of a trip Buffet took to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. Soul Survivor by Phillip Yancey is another great read for any one shows spent a few years in the church and has the scars to prove it. I’ve also spent some time in several books about David. It seems to David’s life seem to unravel around the age of fifty. While that’s a little disconcerting it’s a good idea to learn from any source you have.

If you have some more recommendations I’d be glad to look at them.
