Remember when...? 50 things men need to do once again.

It seems as if every older generation feels like the current generation is lacking some of the basic things that made life better for them "back in the good old days".  

Maybe they're right!

One of the things you often hear people say when they feel that way is, "Remember when people used to...." and then they tell you all the things that they wish people would do again to help make the world a better place.

With that in mind, we're going to remember some of these old-fashioned ideas and share 50 things that would make the world a better place in 2024 if Christian men would re-embrace them and make these practice normal once again.
