Clarence Bauman, a former theology professor shared that “… some people die at 30 and are buried at 60.” How do we encourage ourselves, our families and friends, our communities and world, to keep living fully?
You are welcomed to hear stories of engaging life, regardless of age and situation. And then reflect upon your own journey, potentially sharing insights of your own.
