Creating a Blog to share my thoughts

10/19/2005
I have been hearing about blogs and think they sound like a great communication tool. So here I am, trying to blog. My life is interesting and fun. I am an ordained UCC minister who currently is a full-time funeral director. I think it an honor to serve families in need of support and comfort. I love to teach and try to educate myself and others daily. So here my journey with blogging begins.........

What is life? Is life that which makes our bodies function? Is life that which defines who/what we really are? Is life the same as soul? Are we really living if all we have is air, food, water, work, sleep? How do we life our lives fully? When do they begin? Does life ever end? I believe we have always been and always will be. Each moment we make choices. For all eternity God the Creator has given us freedom to choose. Each choice has its consequences - good, bad and indifferent. Each day you choose what type of day it will be and your choices bump up against the free choices of other living beings. Earthly existence is great, it is a learning ground for the development of your soul. God is alive and well and chooses to relate to you and share each day with you. God gives you life, God dwells in you, God has gifted you, God wants/needs you to be all you can be, learn all you can learn, share all you can share. You are God's gift to others. Be good stewards of your gifts and good ambassadors for God.
