Your Question:
How do I start over at 65?
Answer:
I'm John, and I have to say, starting over at 65 is a daunting task. As a pastor, I've seen many people try to make significant changes in their lives, but it's often overwhelming. The key is to start small, with joyful and easily attainable practices. I think of it like a baseball game - you don't try to hit a home run in your first at-bat, you start with a single and build from there. I remember when my wife Susan and I were first married, we wanted to start a family right away. But we didn't rush into it. We started small, with tiny habits, like praying together each day. It wasn't much, but it was a start. And as we grew in our faith, we were able to build on those small habits. I think that's the key to starting over at 65 - finding small, joyful practices that you can build on. As I look at my own life, I see that I've been blessed with a loving family and a fulfilling career as a pastor. But I also see areas where I'm weak, like my tendency to get caught up in work and neglect my family. That's why I think it's so important to review your strengths and weaknesses, and to talk to someone about your plan for growth. And as you face your own areas of weakness, remember that God's Word is full of practical wisdom and guidance. Just as I read science fiction novels to escape and inspire myself, I believe that reading Scripture can be a powerful tool for growth and transformation.
