Creating a Legacy
Thu 25 Aug 2011 Filed in: My Life
I’m back among the redwoods. They are magnificent trees that stretch straight to the sky, held firm by interlocking roots. For years Mount Hermon has been a special place for me - vacations, honeymoon, retreat, family camps, r&r.... I have sensed that special “Mt Hermon effect” again as I’ve been here for an adult conference focused on creating a legacy and telling one’s story. It’s been a busy few days, and I’ve been encouraged, prodded, blessed, and challenged by Chuck Swindoll, Bill Butterworth, and other communicators I admire. I’m still processing these last few days, but I sense that what I have heard and experienced has helped to shape what I am in this current chapter of my life.
I suppose it is inevitable that one creates a legacy, whether one wants to or not. Intentionality is good, and the telling of the story should begin before the all the chapters have been written. The roots are there, and the trunk is stretching. Stay tuned; there’s a legacy in the making. . . .
