Retired

 Some people, when they reach “retirement age”  have a fear.  They won’t be busy.  I am listed as “retired.”  I can get into this fear.  Why?  Because I might have gotten too used to work, schedules, to do things, as a way of covering up something, such as spiritual growth.  Such growth comes with REST!  Rest in meditation, walks, doing something slowly and not on a schedule or deadline.  My worth would depend on getting things done.  So I write this blog for myself.  You young people might think it is not for you.  But maybe your present choices ought to be in preparation for retirement?  Learn to take rest time in prayer, renewal?  Or you might not make it to any “retirement.”  Stress is often a choice.
