In his very later years, my dad wrote a book. It was a memoir masquerading as a theology book. One chapter was titled Medora Junction. It was about a junction he would get dropped off at to thrumb a ride to college. My dad was wonderful with words. He talked of the time of his life that college presented to him. I am in much the same situation. I am in a time of my life where one part of my life is getting tucked away. My life is changing. Anyone older finds this time whether they are ready or not.
As I have noted before I am starting a podcast. The reason has many layers. Like my Dad, I need something to do. I need to at least feel I am using my gifts. I want to be respected. Though I suspect my opinionated attitude will blunt that a bit.
I have posted videos on YouTube under Lazarus Recovery YouTube. And I have a website in construction at lazarusrecovery.org.
This tech stuff has been a humbling experience. As kid milk came to our house in glass bottles with the creme at the top. Refrigerators were a new thing. TV was a luxury that we got when my grandparents, the rich ones, gave us a Black and white TV. I walked the first inauguration of Dwight Eisenhower. In the navy, my radar had tube amplifiers and tube power supplies. What I am saying is I am late for the party. Technology is kicking me. So be patient!
The podcast will be called ” Faith & Recovery Junction” We will talk of all things meeting at that junction. Just to warn you I have little fear! This is my gift or as some feel a sign of early decline! I love to tell stories! I will let you know if it is real or figurative. To my friends who I got sober with I will be discrete, Just so you know my sobriety date is in mid-November 1974. I am a PK (pastor’s son). I am a college graduate. I am a Navy veteran with six years of active duty. And I was an instrument service guy. I am also a born-again, spirit-filled, Jesus person. And I did all that with a small measure of grace or class.
We will talk about what getting clean and better is like. We will talk about finding some sort of faith in a confusing spiritual world. We will talk for real about the battle you will find in the arena of faith and recovery. Come along! Listen for Faith & Recovery Junction!
