Chara Living is a autobiography of sorts written so my family understands just a little more about how I became the “Patriarch” of this family. It includes flashbacks from my life that haven’t been forgotten just yet. There are memories with my family that are etched into my mind as if they happened yesterday. And this is all told by someone who was on a long journey of faith from agnostic to believer. Life doesn't always happen in ways we expect or plan. Navigating those "life happens" events is hard if not impossible for all of us...unless there is an underpinning of joy as the foundation upon which we stand.  That joy is what Chara Living is all about - may the generations that come after me know the One who gave me that joy.
