  • (Rerun, 06/07/25) CHILDHOOD, SENIORHOOD, CARING ABOUT BOTH, and the "SCORE" OF LIFE
    2026/06/13
    The Eyre's had a grandson return home from his mission today! They will resume their regular schedule next week. (Rerun, 06/07/25) In this episode, the Eyres apply the sports or music term "score" to life and to its phases. They make the point that most of us have stewardship both over family members in their childhood and family members in their seniorhood, and that the two are both overwhelmingly important and should both be given highest priority.

    Today Richard and Linda are at Bear Lake in Idaho getting ready for their annual family reunion and they reflect on how a "second place" or retreat...whether it is a campsite, a small second home, a favorite national park... can give the change of perspective and the freedom from distractions that allows us to re-evaluate and see things more clearly both as families and as individuals.
