Great write up, Keith. Strikes home with me. While I am enjoying retirement, the noticeable thing is my phone doesn't ring any more. No calls except from telemarketers. I think that shows, perhaps, the people I called friends back then were really nothing more than co-workers. If it wasn't for the wife and dogs, the emptiness would be difficult. I do find a sense of belonging in my church, which helps.

It was the same with me. If you’ve found enjoyment with your church, it might be a sign to dive in more to help them. I do think people like us have the skills to help the church is a wide array of areas.

Thank you Keith. There is a retired cop on our team. I ask him about everything that I have heard, the good advice and those opinions I have heard that are, "ill advised".

He may not know it but for me, he has the last word regarding everything I have heard.

Loved the motivational devotion. It spoke to me, a business owner and former stay at home mom. It’s easy to feel set aside in the transition period. Focusing on God’s purpose moves me forward. Thanks for this!
