Summary
On this week’s episode, we’re finishing up our series on discussing my office and the items that bring me a spirit of gratefulness, belief, opportunity, and achievement.
Tune in to this week’s episode to hear about:
- The book that I’ve read in its entirety every month for over 30 years. (I’m shocked that I still get new understanding from some of these things…)
- The award from the Center for Healthy Families that reminds me to be obedient, seek wisdom, and that I make a difference.
- The gift Adam made me for Father’s Day.
- How islanders would pull sharks to the shore hundreds of years ago.
- The item Civil War officers used to brush the day’s dirt away, and why it reminds me to move forward and look towards another day.
- What started me on the path towards learning the Seven Decisions.

| 0:26.7 | So Andy, let's jump right back in here and let's get to the next item that we were talking about from last week. |
| 0:33.7 | If you haven't listened to last week's episode, go back and listen to that, but we're going to pick up and keep describing these items. So, here we go. Okay, the two books that |
