Welcome to the first issue of Compass Check! We hope that you will enjoy the articles and features we want to share with you. We plan to communicate quarterly with helpful and relevant messages. The name Compass Check has been chosen because a compass is an instrument that helps guide us to where we need to go. It represents finding the way to a destination and keeping us from losing our way.

We want to do more than just wish you well for the next decades. We want to support you, answer your questions and do all we can to get you get going in the right direction.

All of us have lots of questions about what life will bring. The day will come when you will need to know what you’ll be doing for the rest of your life. What will you need to study to learn a life-long skill? What about who you will marry? What’s the best way to have the best possible relationship with a person for the rest of your life?

What about the world around us? What’s going to happen to it? We might even be wondering what the fate of mankind will be in our lifetime.

We want to do more than just wish you well for the next decades. We want to support you, answer your questions and do all we can to get you get going in the right direction.

But now, I ask you for your help. Do you have any specific questions for us? What kinds of things are you thinking about that you would like us to write about? Perhaps you would like some advice on careers and the education and preparation for a lifelong career. We are glad to help. Maybe you would like to know more about how you can help those less fortunate and make a difference their lives. We can give you some guidance there. All of us are very interested in relationships with parents, brothers/sisters, friends and those of the opposite sex. Do you have anything you’d like to ask about how you relate to others?

What about God? Would you like to know how to reach Him and make Him a living partner in your life? He is actually the best Compass of all. Compass Check points directly to Him.

I’d like to understand what’s on your mind. Please don’t hesitate to write to me at victor_kubik@ucg.org. I’ll be glad to friend you on Facebook and invite you to follow me on Twitter @VictorKubik or on Instagram at @vkubik.

Life is a journey. Let’s make certain that we get to where we need to be by using the best compass of all—God.
