I wonder how people define value for themselves? A friend told me a story about a man who had worked a 45 year career at the Boeing Corporation as a mechanic. At his retirement party he was asked “if you could change anything about your work at Boeing what would it be?” The recently retired [...]

I would like to hear about how you define the spiritual depth of a person. I will share some of my experiences and ideas. Please respond with your ideas.
