Why Green and Growing?

According to his biography Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s had a sign in his office with the saying: “As long as you’re green you’re growing. As soon as you’re ripe, you start to rot.

So to be green and growing, or to be a lifelong learner, or whatever you call it: That’s for me. Wouldn't you rather be green and growing than ripe and rotten?

Romans 12:2a. "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
