Lessons From Paw Paw

By Cranston Holden

Don’t you wish you had the opportunity to go back in time and tap into the minds of great people from the past and what made them great? Don’t you wish you could go back in time and learn from your Grandfather? What if you had the opportunity to spend one more day with him? That experience would be priceless.
These are Lessons taught by my Grandfather, Cranston Warnick and my father Hogie Holden. Although I have only a few good strong memories of my Grandfather, because he passed away when I was only five years old, his wisdom is priceless. My grandfather was a good man with an even better reputation, who became a known as an even greater man later in life. Fortunately my older brother was able to spend countless hours with my Grandfather in the afternoons, weekends, and all summer. They often worked outside which was on an old country farm that wasn’t really anything to brag about amongst the apple orchard and old barns. Located in the small mountainous area of the Southeast my Grandfather was able to pass on ageless wisdom that is rarely valued but leads to a life of plenty and inner peace.

Lastly I would like to thank my beautiful and loving wife for enduring all the long nights I spent writing the perfect representation of what these lessons stood for and how they revealed just a glimpse of the wisdom acquired by Paw Paw.

Prologue

People have become obese with useless information and are starving for wisdom. We are solicited at every turn for our attention through every outlet imaginable. We get so much we tend to shut it all out from being overwhelmed. When we mentally lock out the information we inadvertently lock out the wisdom that we need that will guide us to a better path.
