"Ron and June Travis have been working in the trenches of Baptist life for the past forty-five years: "With their own family.Team teaching and conducting seminars for adolescents, newlyweds, budgeting, and finance. Serving as a Deacon. Working on committees for Personnel, Finance, or Long-Range Planning. Serving as a leader and then Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 266 in Gardendale, Alabama.

Ron is now writing about their experiences, and his career, which have been based on honor, honesty, and integrity in following the constitution, bylaws, rules, and stated intentions of each organization they have been a part of.

"This Book is written to share Ron's beliefs about the Cooperative Program and each individual's responsibilities as we come together to rule autonomous local Baptist churches and cooperate with other like-minded congregations to accomplish the Great Commission and the mandate found in Acts 1."

In 2009, Ron and June worked with their oldest grandson, Trey, to add structure into his life that would allow him to control the negative characteristics of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) including distractibility, inattention, impulsivity, and restlessness. While researching ADD, Ron was introduced to the positive characteristic of, "HYPERFOCUS." This allows people with ADD to focus intently, with passion, creativity, and enthusiasm on things they are interested in. Ron also realized that the tools and structure he has spent his entire career teaching to others were all based on the same principles needed by people with ADD. They require permanent structure, and perhaps medication, to overcome the negative characteristics and benefit from the positive characteristic of Hyperfocus and creativity: Setting long-term goals for 15-years out. Breaking these goals down into 3-year increments. Setting goals for the current year by months. Preparing a calendar for the current month. Preparing a "To Do" list for what has to be done today. Becoming motivated and focused on the "To Do" list, in order of priority, knowing that you will be successful in reaching your life goals and dreams.
