Association Perspective

The value of time.

When we last visited, the topic of financial considerations was on my mind. To be honest, some 14 months later, it’s still on my mind. I talked about some basic concepts that can be used to better command and direct our finances to be intentional with our income. I come to find out, our time isn’t so different. This month we talk about managing heat. Personally, the heat I’ve felt lately comes not from the sun, but from those around me, most notably the newest addition to our family, Elijah Alexander Tolbert.
