HOM and i talk quite a bit about the next phase of our lives these days. we want to retire, but not from fruitful engagement. we want to rest, but not really. we would start anew somewhere, but we know not where.
i know only that the watershed years approach when things begin to change. i want the changes to be gentle and exciting and tolerable and saltatory and unfrightening and magnificent. i claim isaiah 43:1 with hopeful trepidation - fear not, for i have redeemed you; i have called you by name; you are mine, and i read a few verses down and feel a delicious jolt of anticipation - do not remember the former things... behold, i will do a new thing.
lead us to the path you mark out for us.
