Boy Scouts comes to mind, since we spent so much time learning what we’d now consider life skills, and were availed of so many different opportunities and enriching experiences that made us better equipped and more aware.
I learned important things from my Mom and Dad and grandparents– how to behave, how to treat people. The college years gave me exposure to a bigger, more diverse world. Marriage and parenthood opened my eyes to real responsibilities and commitment. And spending twenty-six years as a pastor exposed me to the myriad joys and travails of being human, living without all the answers.
