incredibly hard to even consider. We started to pack up and get ready for the seven-hour trip north and put all the stuff that was too big for us to deal with out of our minds. God was not calling us from or to anything, and we were convinced He would do that even in retirement because there is no such thing as retirement in kingdom living, just a season of new opportunity! Shirley has always been the one to venture out and investigate or test the water where as I am hesitant to complicate life…

What do i need to do to become a man? It 's a question that all young men throughout history have asked themselves.

others more than anything. So before you become independent, you're usually making decisions based on what other people do or say. For example, you and your friend plan to go to the mall. But she becomes sick and cancels last minute. 9 times out of 10, you will not go and the next time they are feeling better, you will go together. But when you become independent, you learn to do things on your own, usually with no one else's advice or input. So in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the…
