A response to the question Is it Wrong to Retire by William Lane Craig on his website Reasonable Faith really resonated with me. It is something I have been thinking about for quite awhile now. I started a Ph.D. program at University of Nebraska–Lincoln four years ago when I was 63 years old with the idea that I would finish it as a retirement project. That did not happen. I am now 68 years old, still working and will be walking the commencement at UNL next Friday. In addition to that, I have a commitment, God willing, to work until I am at least 70 at my current day job. In my current mindset, the only thing that would prevent me from continuing in that position after 70 is if I am not able. When I do quit that job, I hope I am able to continue helping my professor, Troy as a volunteer as long as I am able.
