An Ambitious Calling

By John E. Wade II / March 21, 2014 / Comments Off on An Ambitious Calling

Both President Reagan and Gandhi were ambitious, and I am, too.  I seek to be a pathfinder toward heaven on earth.  It may involve political endeavors within the Republican Party and/or a path more like Gandhi.
