Welcome to the Juice of Life Blog

Welcome to the Juice of Life blog. I’m Tom Long, author of the book, The Juice of Life.  In my book I shared the ten most important lessons I almost learned in my first fifty years.  In my book, as in life, I try to deal with reality as it is, not the way I wish it were.  We have to face the role of God as He is (not as we wish He were); the flawed nature of ourselves and others; the amazing opportunities and responsibilities which God makes available to us; and the incredible wonders of cultures and nature.  In a world where it is so easy for me to focus on me and be blinded to the great vast beyond, I find there is benefit in a community that reminds me to look upward and outward.

It would be so great if this little blog could do a bit of that in our lives.  I hope you’ll take advantage of this forum to remind me and our readers of the bigger picture.  I’ll try to do the same for you.
