I don't believe in retirement for the sake of cruises and spending all the money that one has accumulated over your life just to have fun. I want to leave an inheritance for my children.

I also intend to be fully busy throughout my years and look forward to a day when I can devote more energies to the local Church. I love serving the Body of Christ and can never imagine a day when I would "retire" from that.
I share the same views; however, what about those who are retired ministers? They do not have a secular employment to retire from yet they are considered retired.
