Birthdays!

Well my daughter Ruth turns 16 tomorrow. Wow, it seems like just a couple of years ago that I was knocking on doors and building my Edward Jones practice while Anna was enduring the hot summer of 1993 as a pregant lady!

Ruth has been such a blessing, and she seems to have even more of a gift for salesmanship than her dad. She loves the Lord and is seeking His will for her career path. What a blessing each one of our children is. I love trying to observe and discern their gifts and their processes of maturing, so that (I hope) I can give them good advice and share wisdom about how to become Godly adults.

I welcome readers' comments on what works (or doesn't work) when advising children about the "grown-up" world.
