Reed Critchfield: Value of a book

FAMILY MATTERS

Time does fly as some folks say and here we are beyond the Y2K.

For some it took a while to come, for others time has just begun.

Time is either friend or foe. It may run too fast or crawl too slow.

But whether it scolds or flatters, one clock is constant - Family Matters.

Lives intertwine and then unravel. Some dive in while others dabble.

And whether it be choice or chance, We're all adorned by circumstance.

We pay our money and roll the dice. And perhaps we win once or twice.

But whether in riches or in tatters, one bet is sure - Family Matters.

God sent us here. He has a plan. God looks beyond the mortal man,

into the depths of what can be, beyond what the eyes of man can see.

If to reach God's viewpoint we aspire, then each day we must climb higher.

Together each day we climb that eternal ladder, because forever is a Family Matter.
