For the Love of It
The LifeSearch 101 class will start the study "For the Love
of It" by Dewitt Jones. Dewitt is a National Geographic photographer

In this new program, Dewitt discusses how we all have the ability
to love what we do through honoring our passion, making a contribution
to those around us, and expressing gratitude. When you work for

to those around you. "You can't wait for it to come to you.
You just have to fall in love with what you're doing, right now.
