Greetings.

Thanks for the visit.

How are the friendships in your life? Do you have trusted individuals in your inner circle? Are you invested in the lives of others? Are you living a great adventure? These were important questions to me and I spent some time answering them in my book "Ancient Friendship for Modern Men". You can find it on Amazon.

On my site I share thoughts and experiences related to faith, family and friends. Please contact me if you would like to connect.

In service,

Don Owens
