Young and Old and Uncomfortable

So, is Phil trying to tell us something in his sermon title, Young and Old? His text includes: Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, "I have no pleasure in them"; before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain..."

Hhmm...so where would a preacher who just passed forty fit in the scale of young and old?

Thinking of older preachers, I was looking forward to Paul's message in 1 Peter that includes the wonderful verse about being "born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." But his sermon title is "An Uncomfortable Grace" and the verse that is in bold is the one that reads "you have been tested by various trials." Hhmm...maybe its the trial of growing old!
