Thoughts about living a more beautiful story.
From dream to reality in 2021
Near the beginning of 2021 I had a conversation with a friend about this idea I had to create a website with inspiring content for people. I’d thought about it for several years but my perfectionist streak always held be back. My friend helped me see that in a year one of three things would be true about that potential website.
I brought it to life and it’s adding joy and meaning to my life and others. I’m growing and learning as I do it.
I tried it and found I really didn’t like it. It didn’t work for me or it became a negative thing so I shut it down.
I did nothing and would still be thinking about the perfect way to do it or if I should do it at all.
I realized then that options 1 and 2 were both good outcomes, but option 3 would be a failure. Then I got to work.
My story of following Jesus toward a more beautiful story since the 1980s, with evolving and expanding views of the love of God in and out of pastoral ministry.
