Never Grow Old
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed listening to Patty Griffin’s latest album. It is a Gospel-style work with many re-makes of old Gospel hymns. One of my favorites on the album is called, “Never Grow Old.” I think that really is one of the desires of our hearts— to never grow old. Why else would people undergo extensive plastic surgeries or dye their hair or use sun screen? One...
