"Life is a broken promise now that Jesus is dead," Cleo complained to his friend Eli as they walked on the road to Emmaus. "What's there to live for? Now everything has fallen apart." Twenty-five years earlier, Cleo had had such high hopes. "My future's promising," he had boasted. "It's looking great! I'm going to find me a good-looking gal. We'll get married, settle down, and have bright kids who'll really go places. And I'll own a business that will make me a mint." A promising future? That's what he thought twenty-five years ago. But now at age forty-five, it was a different story.
