My Inheritance

What is our inheritance?  Have we been given the curse of pain and suffering? Is it doubt and poverty that we carry over from our ancestors? Is it our material wealth? Fame? Fortune? Prestige? Honor? Does our inheritance lie in the injustice of the world?  Or might it be the path of love that leads to…

Supply Chain of Fools

There’s a lot of talk about the supply chain these days. People seem worried about all the stuff we’re not getting, related inflation, and tough times to come.
