Titles and Assumptions

Titles and Assumptions

By Frank Deardurff

Everybody has opinions and I’m glad for it. It gives us reason for conversation, debate, and to learn. Learn about each other. Learn about other viewpoints.

What Was My Impact?

By Frank Deardurff

At the end of our days and after we are gone will we have made a difference on anyone or anything? Has my life mattered to anyone and what was my impact on this world? Early on I had the thought that the only thing I could really leave is my name and integrity. When…

20,000 Days

By Frank Deardurff

It’s hard to imagine, on Friday May 25th 2019 I turned 20,000 days old. WOW! In one thought I think where did all of those days go, but as I sit and ponder a moment I think I’ve seen and done so many things over those “days”. Sure there are life goals I’ve not reached…
