Hi Walt. I’ve been able to read the last several of your postings. I like the summary and definition that you provide. They are such a great challenge to “keep at it” regardless of the past family failures and successes.

Hi Norman, Perseverance is one of the most challenging aspects of life. The beautiful healing part of life is “It’s never to late to do good.” And the fact that we have the Holy Spirit guiding us as to what to say is the biggest blessing of all.
