The Aftermath of Hope

From Acknowledgement to Action

Published by Hanging on to Hope

Gregory Charles Reynolds has been on a spiritual quest for most of his life. As a student at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, he studied religion, philosophy, and art. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hamline in 1971 and has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota. After a rewarding 32-year career working in the Finance and Education and Training organizations within 3M Company, he retired in 2007. In 2016, he came out of retirement to work for a non-profit organization and subsequently "retired" a second time in 2020. Gregory is no stranger to adversity and the struggle we each face to not only survive, but attempt to thrive under adverse conditions and circumstances. Recovering from a heart attack in 2008, he found renewed strength, support and belief in the power of an awesome God. He could not have done this alone, and is extremely grateful to family members and friends who guided him through a difficult time. Having witnessed the effects of illnesses and diseases like cancer on close friends and family members, he is constantly reminded that adversity impacts not only the patient or victim, but also those who care about the health and wellbeing of others. Believing that adversity in all our lives is not optional, Greg has continued his quest to find meaning and purpose in life and has established this website and blog to create hope in the future for all of us.

  2. Hi Greg, I am sorry that we have not responded to your email asking about my brother’s experience and getting together to talk about this. Did I give you a copy of his book? If not, I have one for you. Our summer has been VERY busy and continues through October. If we could coordinate a date in November that would work to get together, we loved to meet with you. We should try to select a date before November gets away from us! I loved what you have written in this post. For someone whom has recently lost a love one, they will find helpful thoughts and ideas to help them in their journey. Would meeting on Fri., November 1 work to meet at 10 am at Bruegger’s on HWY 96 in North Oaks? If not, do you have a day and time that would work for you?
