One should welcome old age for the consequent waning of the libido, which makes temptations easier to resist. Herein an argument for taking care of one’s body. In trad RC-ism, moral progress stops with death. It must be same in Calvinism, no?
Didn’t you tell me that you do not capitalize the ‘m’ in your surname? I looked up ‘molen.’ It means ‘mill.’ (You may have told me this.) I wonder how many Millers were originally Vandermolens?
Yes, the same, since at death we enter a new life of glorification or damnation.
I generally capitalize the ‘M’ because I like the way that looks, but others in my family do not, and some place a space between the two. Still others place two spaces — van der molen — from the mill.
This is similar to ancient wisdom from Solomon in the book of Proverbs 5,6, and 7. Wretched choices ultimately wreck our bodies and our souls.
Thanks Trudy. I re-read them.

Couldn’t it also mean ‘of the mill’ and thus ‘one who wills,’ i.e., mller? In any case, a beautiful name.
Yes, I think that’s the implication for sure!
