I’ve tried on a lot of identities over the years: Pastor, Educator, Counselor, Speaker, Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur, Community Leader, Stone Sculptor, Bobcat and Moving Van Driver—surely an unlikely mix of interests and experiences.
Folk wisdom suggests that at about age 60 we can finally look back on life’s various disconnected events and see the fine silver threads that connect all the seemingly disparate commitments and random ventures of one’s life history. My life has certainly included an unexpected variety of efforts and interests. Here are a few of the threads that meld this hodge-podge of experiences together into a somewhat understandable and comfortable whole. |
