The Resolution of Legacy: Part 2

Monday, 13 October 2008 00:00
An Interview With Doug Olsen In his preparation for that traditional New Year sermon last year on “resolutions”, Pastor Doug Olsen from Woodmen Valley Chapel in Colorado Springs, knowing that most resolutions are soon abandoned, decided to challenge his congregation to “expand their view and increase their horizon to a more significant level of impact” – a focus on long term commitment to our legacy. This meant addressing the bigger issues of defining spiritual legacy as a resolution for life and its impact on those who journey with us. Thus, the Pauline expression of life legacy, “for me to live is Christ and to die is gain”, demanded further reflection. This is the second part of this two part series that began with last month’s VOE. Add comment (0) Hits: 450

It is important to know that intentional grandparenting also involves just having some good time fun. Our grandchildren need time with us to play without any special purpose other than having a good time. Add comment (0) Hits: 451
