Men’s Group

Recently, I had just finished a men’s Bible study group. We completed a Bible study guide for Tony Dungy’s book, Quiet Strength. I had finished the book around the time my son had his Scoliosis surgery. The book was excellent. I found the study to be very helpful. One of the most important aspects of the study was that we met together as a group of men and could share our common interests and concerns. There’s something about meeting with a group of men, swapping manly stories, and encouraging one another. One of the things we talked about in the … Continue reading

Thinking About a Legacy

Writing Your Own Personal History

I think that everyone should write their own personal history at some point in their lives. You may put it off saying that you haven’t reached an age where you are ready to begin to decide what decisions were the most important in your life.

I have written my own personal history, and it is a very rewarding experience. It was surprising to me the way the events … Continue reading
