  1. The Geezers Guide to Godliness Unlocking the Wisdom of the “Older Generation”

  2. Thoughts on Youth "I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and impatient of restraint“ Hesiod, 8th century BC

  3. Thoughts on Youth “The world is passing through troubling times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress.” Peter the Hermit, 1247

  4. Thoughts on Old People “Teens may have some prejudice against some new people who are different, but unlike adults we are more easily changed once we realize that they aren’t really that bad. Adults on the other hand are stubborn and are less likely to change their biased views.” John Wheeler at age17

This is something new”?     It was here already, long ago;     it was here before our time. There is no remembrance of men of old,     and even those who are yet to come     will not be remembered     by those who follow. Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
