Perspective comes with experience and perspective can make a world of difference in life. My life so far, has provided a wealth of it, or, at least enough for me to appreciate what I have, along with the fleeting nature of this life. <em>The Pistol fires back: That's great news.

But that has been a hard lesson to learn and I dearly hope I don't have to re-learn it. It has taken a few hard months to realize my life, identity, and general enjoyment greatly hinged on other things. God did have a part because I love him and worship him but I had to lose my job as a worship minister in order to see how much the job part had taken control of my life. Thanks for the reminder to be content. Tom <em>The Pistol fires back: And thank you, Tom, for visiting us and leaving a comment.

Hmmm...I would love to be around your Dad. He sounds like one of those people who is comfortable in his own skin and lets other people let down their guard and just be what they are. Funny we both write about connecting with simple wellbeing after a controversial post...Twin ;) <em>The Pistol fires back: Yeah, Dad is great. He never put any pressure on me to succeed. When I was headed off for college, he took me out for a beer and said, "You know, if you could just get Cs, that would be great." People are going to start thinking we're calling each other to see what the other is going to write. In case you're wondering, tomorrow, I'm going to write about my arduous visit to the psychiatrist. </em> I love this. Hmmm…I would love to be around your Dad.

Only thing, he doesn't share the same likeness to Henry Fonda. <em>The Pistol fires back: I'm not sure my Dad does either, but I just thought the photo looked cool.</em> My father was cut from the same cloth as yours.
