The story is told of Abe Lincoln as a very young man working as a clerk in a country store. One day a woman purchased some dry goods and after totaling the cost of the items, she paid her two dollars, six and quarter cents and left (six and a quarter cents was coinage borrowed from the Spanish currency of the day).

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.
