I posted something today that got me thinking about who others think I am… This morning, I said:
By our choices and life
we repeatedly tell
everyone, anyone,
what we think is most
important.
Don’t blame me if I
misread your life.
I interpret from my
own position of
importance.
I’ve been in the ministry for nearly 40 years, spent 33+ years in IT, married for nearly 50 years, and headed into my 70s sooner than I ever thought possible.
With that intro done, please tell me who you think I am.
How do I come across? What do you think about me? Since I’m writing, sometimes speaking, and never doing video unless it’s church-related and I’m “dressed” for church, does it matter to you that I’m very casual? Barefooted or sans socks come to mind!
Do I even care? Because I am me, what do I think about you in return for your vision of who I am?
I do care.
Someone told me I smile too much. That’s their problem, not mine. Someone else said I was too easygoing. Again. That’s not my problem. “I ‘yam who I ‘yam!”
How do I do better? Is there something I’m not doing that maybe you wished I were doing? Does my blog make sense? Is there anything missing?
I heard this about attorneys in a courtroom. “Don’t ask questions you don’t already know the answer to?” Since I don’t know everything and want to know, I ask questions. You can answer here: Contact Me. You can also message me on this posting, but others will see your message.
