Selfish Giving

JULY 3, 2019

I'll keep things short this week as everyone is probably thinking about vacation time, fireworks and BBQs. ?????? Something to think about tomorrow. On July 4, 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved into the cabin he had built with his own hands on the shores of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau wasn't seeking to live in isolation.
