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.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Myriad memories frozen in time
The Power of Story
Doing the best I can to keep it on the bright side
Embracing imperfection with little fashion, lots of faith, & fresh air
The ink of inspiration whets the quill, but the dawn of innovation guides the hand

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 .
