For the past five years I have devoted my life to caring for Brenda and her mother. Now they are both with Jesus and I am trying to figure out what the rest of my life is going to look like. Will there be a place for me in active ministry or has that time passed? Will I be able to resume my preaching ministry or does the Lord have something else for me to do? Of course, I plan to continue writing but I would also like to preach. In many ways it feels like I am right back where I was more than fifty years ago when I was just entering the ministry.

“Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’”

— 1 Samuel 3:10 (NIV)

Like Samuel we pray, “Speak, Lord, for we are listening. Amen.
