Hello Elder. I am an old fogey myself. I call myself "old fart woman" at times and the grandkids laugh. Actually Grandma's are just antique little girls. We do need lots of eldery imput here on this site that can be helpful to the younger. A person that is older and mature in the Lord is an Elder. Of course, just because some people are old does not mean that they can be considered an elder in the Lord. Old age does not qualify us, it is the Lord. Older women are to teach the younger women how to be keepers of the home and love their husbands and love their children. My husband and I have 11 grandchildren, all boys except for three of them girls. My husband will be 60 this month and he is working way up north Wa in Lynden until God provides us with a place to live so I can move up with all of our critters. So, we are being patient. It is really cool how when you get older in the Lord you have been seasoned to be patient. I wish I had the patience I have now years and years ago because I would not have stepped out in the flesh and made so many stupid mistakes. Happy you are here. Desma
