The Gift You Share
By Bruce ChristensenPosted: 09/27/2022
In the spirit of getting to know each other better, Lora Harrington-Pride suggested some topics that we could share helping us to get to know each other better.
Here is one that I thought would be good.
Each person has at least one gift he can share with the world; Some of us have many.
What one gift have you shared, or may one day share with the world?
I am looking forward to talking on Zoom next week.
Bruce
