So many of the men I work with are in the third or fourth quarter of life. I was recently reading Psalm 90 and came across these words from the Psalmist: “As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, or if due to strength eighty years, yet their pride is but labor […] Read more

Every quarter I like to share quotes that I have encountered in my reading and research that have been meaningful to me.
