Leaving a Legacy of Love
Valentine's Day has come and gone again, but February is not over and love is still in the air all year through.

Wisdom Transfer vs. Wealth Transfer

Time’s Up: Stewarding our Time
Schedules and resolutions are made, but why is time so difficult to manage? Time's Up. Seemingly a never-ending cycle of opportunities to invest moments for the here and now or for eternity, in reality, time is an evaporating commodity that we will be accountable for, ultimately having an earthly end. In light of this vacuum called [...]
