Your Question:
how do i start over at 65?
Answer:
I'm not 65 yet, but I'm feeling stuck in my life. I'm a pastor and a husband and father, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions. I want to start over, but I don't know where to begin. I'm feeling a sense of disconnection from God and from my family. I'm not sure how to break free from this feeling of being stuck. It sounds like you're feeling a bit like I do when I'm reading science fiction novels and I get to a point where the main character is stuck in a rut and doesn't know how to get out of it. It's a familiar feeling, but it's not a feeling I want to be stuck in for too long. I think the first step is to start small and focus on building some good habits. As the saying goes, "you can't hit a home run without swinging the bat." So, let's start with some tiny habits, like taking a short walk or praying a psalm. Don't try to tackle everything at once, just focus on making some small changes and see how they go. I think it's also important to take a hard look at where we're strong and where we're weak. As a pastor, I'm used to helping others work through their struggles, but I need to be honest with myself about my own areas of weakness. I need to talk to someone I trust about these issues and lay out a plan for growing in those areas. And, as the passage says, I need to make sure I'm spending time in Scripture every day, so I can hear God's voice and get some guidance on how to move forward. It's not going to be easy, but I'm willing to take the first step and see where it leads. Maybe I'll even start by reading through the book of John with my family, that way we can all grow together. Who knows, maybe this is the start of something new and exciting for all of us. As the Chicago Cubs say, "let's go Cubs!" - let's go for it! God is with us, and with His help, we can overcome any obstacle. Now, let me get back to reading that science fiction novel, I've got a game to win! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ah, I mean, I've got a family to serve and a church to lead. But seriously, I'm excited to see what the future holds. God bless!
