Invisible Man

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 27, 2009

Ralph Waldo Ellison; encouraged to make music and to write by his father; inspired by the civil rights activism of his mother, began to ...read more

As we grow older we find meaning in encouraging others, especially the young. Trusting them is equivalent to trusting God.

But you know, I’m finding that it is important to know what you feel. It is important to listen to yourself as you age. I am not referring to aches ...read more
