Samuel Wright Let’s face it… We have all given to a charity. It gives us that “warm fuzzy” that lets us feel like we have done our part for (insert global/geopolitical/cultural/religious need here.)

Along with other things, wisdom is something that we acquire as we age. Always learning what is right and wrong, what is good and bad, etc. We add these to the other things we pick up with age. Among these are weight, hair in places that it should not be, bad knees and a plethora … Read more
