Day 4: Reading

I have hoped that I will do more reading...this morning I ate my breakfast (after my walk/run) and read the newsletter for ARC Retreat Center (http://www.arcretreat.org/). Jan Wiersma, the Executive Director, is a powerful writer. What a gift to start this morning with thoughts from Jan...
"If you could stake a claim for the future, where would you place your hope? If you could pass your wisdom to the next generation, what values would you teach? What ethical legacy would you leave? Without a vision for what may be, what has been loses value." Jan Wiersma
ARC is an important "ministry" of mine...through Jan's writing, maybe you can understand why.
