When I was a child
I dutifully prayed,
And went to church
Every week.
I learned about God
His son and the Ghost
And the way I needed
To live.
In time I learned more
And questioned the past.
My relationship grew
With God.
Wherever we are
There is never just one
We are His Church
I have learned.
We all stand together,
One voice raised to the sky
Whether inside or out
He is there.
In my heart He resides
And teaches me still.
His community of love
Will live on.

In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!

Retired from the University of Texas and too old to play soccer anymore. Now, in the twilight of his years, time is spent writing in this blog, hiking and exploring Texas Parks, photography, working out, gardening and tending to the five ponds he built .
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
