I feel like a twenty-seven-year-old kid inside a seventy-year-old body. Something is not right. I feel limitations. I’m beginning to wonder what it might look like to receive those limitations not as enemies to be fought, but as friends to guide me toward home. Perhaps you’re like me, pushing forward with self-reliance in all things. I’m wondering what it looks like to receive with humility what others may offer me as I make my way through my seventies. My friend Kevan is teaching me a bit about that. What does it look like to live well and to offer something to others from the grace and abundance l’ve been blessed with in this short lifetime which appears so finite, and yet continues endlessly beyond the veil?

Ultimately, this is a book about friendship . . . the kind that God has called us to live in . . . friendship that goes deep and flourishes, not in spite of our needs but actually through them.
