The document discusses passing down family legacies from generation to generation. It describes how legacies are often passed down verbally or through mediums like photos and letters that may not last. It introduces Legacy Management Systems, a company that helps people plan, live, and share their legacies digitally through a secure online Legacy Portfolio. The portfolio brings together items like career information, family stories, goals, health records, and finances in one place for future generations. The company offers various products and services like e-books, gift cards, and workshops to help people preserve and share their family's legacy.

1. YourFamilylegacy 1 The State of New York called you saying that they have discovered a small box of your great-grandparents belongings (mostly letters, documents, and a few pictures) in a closet on Ellis Island. They are willing to give you the box, but you will have to fly to NYC, pay a $250 processing fee, and present your ID in order to collect the box. Would you fly to NY to claim the box? Legacy Portfolio Is That Box For The Next Generation

14. Who is legacy for? 4 Joel 1:2-3 The word of the LORD came to Joel. Has anything happened to you in your days or in your father’s day? Tell your sons about it. And let their sons tell their sons about it, and their sons the next generation LegacyManagementSystems purposely targets Christian men in order to overcome barriers that hold them back. Our assumption is that their biblical world-view makes building, living , and sharing a Godly legacy important to him – and his family. Therefore, we purposely choose tools, questions, styles, & images that resonate with men who recognize their obligation to God and their family to manage their legacy. We also believe that his wife/kids/parents… will readily join in the process of chronicling his family’s legacy once he has begun. That is why we NEVER use the term “Digital Scrapbooking” Or buy any supplies from Michaels
