Over the years of my life I've come to find significant sound and
reliable advice or council has come from folks twenty, thirty, forty
years older than I. Formal education has its place but from where I
stand drinking a cup of coffee with these older folks has been well
worth the time and money I spent just listening to them tell their
stories. Seems to me that young folks tend to shy away from these
valuable sources of experience. Maybe you can spare a few minutes to
read one of the twenty one stories within which are bathed in
overcoming hardships, enduring to the end, being faithful to your
heritage. Appreciating experience gives you a new perspective on
events you are dealing with in your own life.
