  Joe:

  Such an interesting question!!
  Do you stay awake at night formulating these questions for us??? <grin>

  It is serendipitous that I read your email message after this mornings devotions, here at the lake, because what I read in Luke 2:22-40 speaks to your query in a rather profound way. 
  I recently carved a relief on Luke 2:29-32 [go to my website at: http://216.106.57.170/~bjohnson/index.htmland look for the link to the "Simeon" carving]. 

  This carving was an attempt to capture the wonder and amazement of an old man who discovers once again, in his old age, that God is a promise-keeping God. He had been blessed to live long enough to see the Messiah of God. Holding the babe in his hands he proceeded to proclaim that his life was complete. Now he could die in peace.
