For Every Senior Who Has Thought About Quitting

Grandma's got game -- and biceps to prove it.  Meet basketball phenom Zhu Shumei.  She's 76.


Zhu has played basketball every day for the past 20 years.  Someone forgot to tell her that 76-year-old grandmothers aren't supposed to play basketball.  Her secret is safe with me.  You can read the rest of her story here.

This reminds me of Caleb, who said to Joshua, "I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in." (Josh. 14:11)

Take it from Zhu.  Don't "check out" just because you're getting older.  Stay in the game.  You still have a contribution to make.  Get out there and show them youngins how it's done.
