When Thomas Jefferson was young, Virginia was still a colony of England. Jefferson thought that many English laws and taxes were unfair, so he studied hard to become a lawyer and help make better laws. Soon he and others came to believe that the colonies should become a new country, and Jefferson was chosen to write the Declaration of Independence. As the third president of the United States, he focused on exploring the country and making it grow. His fairness and love of learning made him one of the most beloved presidents of all time.

( Aging is revealed to be a rich and blessed experience, ...)
Aging is revealed to be a rich and blessed experience, in this chronicle of the events surrounding the author's near-death experience by cardiac arrest. After his brush with death, Barrett recognized a reprieve and a challenge in the old age he had once dreaded. Contrary to prevailing views of aging, he saw before him a stage of life that is equivalent, if not superior, to any previous one, filled with new insights and opportunities for spiritual growth.
