“No regrets.” I have tried to live my life so that if tomorrow I should die, I would do so without regrets. Therefore I have tried to love well, forgive easily, apologize sincerely, enjoy life and family and friends, and above all, remember and represent the love of God to others.
I’m a family person. I have a loving wife, two adult children who are both married, two grandchildren, a step-grandchild, and much extended family. They live in cities and rural places near and far. I have friends who might as well be blood relatives. I love to spend time with friends and kin, even those with whom I disagree. I enjoy playing games, and travelling with them all.
I enjoy the beach, movies, and did I mention the beach. I can listen to almost any kind of music, and my nephew even taught me a few things about rap so that I can enjoy that too. (He wasn’t impressed that I once had the Sugarland album.) I like both fireworks and the silence that lets me hear the trickle of a creek in a quiet wood where I am walking.
I suppose all this is why I think of myself as being “on the way.” This theme relates to one of my favorite phrases, from Christian educator Nell Morton, “The journey is home.” I am finding that the places in time and space where I find myself, and the choices I face bring me to a proverbial crossroad. I literally worked on the corner of Love and Cemetery Streets for a time. I often pondered how definitive that street sign is for our life’s journey. I do my best to choose The Way of Love Street, for that, I believe, is the path to eternal joy in Christ and everlasting life.
I hope to see you on The Way, or at least at the corner, and if you need a hand down on Cemetery St., let me know and I’ll be there.
Peace, Beverly
