One day we will all get old. Florence is a ninety-seven-year-old woman who is nearing the end of this journey called life. Although we would love for her to be here with us forever, this will not happen. She has lived a long and purposeful life, but one wonders as they talk to her, “Is she happy with the choices that she made? If she could do it all over again, would she want to?” As we travel through the past with her, we witness almost first-hand what it was like to live the life she lived, we walk with her through her fears, her dreams, her disappointments, her joys, her celebrations, and her humanity. Once we have climbed the mountain of “The blameless man” (Psalm 37:37) with Florence, we discover the answer to these questions, and maybe even discover a few answers to our own ticking clocks.
