Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart

If I Had It To Do All Over Again

make the man. Who builds these cities glorious if man

unbuilded goes? In vain we build the world, unless the

builder also grows."

Gloria Evins, Bartlett, Tennessee

I really wouldn't change a thing. I have a wonderful

wife, good kids (a bit lazy though), and a good job. But

occasionally I wish I would have been the Marine fighter

pilot I started out to be, but I would probably have been

taken out in Vietnam and missed all of this good stuff.

Bill Sowell, Brandon, Mississippi

I'd· probably try to be more mindful of others, more

open to serve, less prideful and selfish. I'd try to be

more aware of life's truly important things and not be as

interested in seemingly important things that really

weren't. I'd try to be more patient with everyone,

including the ones I love the most.

Max Reiboldt, Alpharetta, Georgia

I would have gone to college and earned a teachers

certificate so I could teach music in our small school.

The income would have helped our family in bad times.

I would not let work keep us from mid-week Bible study,

as it did sometimes.

Mildred Horton, Midvale, Idaho

I'd try to find a "pot of gold" to finance my Harding

student .... ouch! I think about this quite often. My

mind wanders over the many things that I think I would

do differently . . . but I usually come to the same

conclusion that Solomon did. "All this but folly ...."
