* Yes, but just knowing how isn’t enough. A little or a lot, let’s do it every day. *
* I consider the Bible to be the Book of books. If for some reason someone can only read one book, I hope and pray that this is the one which that person will choose. *
* Not meant in any way to diminish President Grant or his purpose in addressing a limited audience, I’m taking the liberty of going beyond what he wrote to the children and youth of the United States nearly 150 years ago and extending his message to the old, and to the youth, to the children, of all nations in the world. I don’t think the President would strongly object if he were alive to witness my act. *
I’m currently reading Being A Proactive Grandfather: How To Make A Difference, written by Richard Eyre.
“Men Of A Certain Age
They’re a lot of us,
Guys between fifty-five and seventy-five,
Wondering
What to do next.
Still plenty of energy and more capacity
Than ever before,
At the peak of our powers.
So what?
Keep working until we die, extend the routine?
Retire, find a house on a golf course, pull back, dry up?
Travel, leave everyone and everything behind?
Start a new career, start over, and take risk?
What if we want a little of all these,
But we want something more?
For most of us, there is another option,
For our effort and energy, our focus and force,
Hidden in plain sight, right under our noses:
Grandkids!
Little extensions of ourselves, legacies,
Growing up in a world that is harder
And more complex
Than ours was, or our kids’ was.
They need us,
And we need them - there can be symbiosis.
We know there is delight there, and opportunity,
But we don’t know how, or when, or even what;
We’re not confident as Grandfathers and
Our role is not clear.
That’s the reason for this book.”

Philip Yancey's Grace.
Okay; it's mostly pictures. That's about my intellectual speed these days. But I liked The Jesus I Never Knew and Where is God When It Hurts? It does make me want to read his What's So Amazing About Grace.

I seen the strangest thing the other day that I haven't seen in so many years. I seen a guy walking down the street holding a book!
