Robert’s Reflections
fear that once held me ransom. I can
know that death is sometimes less
painful than life. There is a certain
confidence that comes with time and
trial. I hate to leave all that. On the
other hand, I observe my limitations
more fully than ever – hearing loss,
diminished eyesight, remembering
names, forgetting other things, dealing
with aches and pains, etc., etc., etc. It is
time – or biblically speaking, “the
fullness of time”. I have never been one
to be confident that I have arrived at all
the right answers in life, so I plan to
continue to read and learn and get in
touch with the more creative side of my
head that has been overlooked while
doing the work of life and ministry. So,
travel, play, write, create, volunteer, sail,
ride, stay in touch with the big world all
around us – that’s what I “plan” to do,
God willing. How it all comes out, well,
that’s TBD.
Love, Bob

I retire? It is not that I lack ideas
in this matter; it’s just that I’m
struggling to put things into any kind
of chronological perspective. I have
wonderful ideas, but I want to sort
of scatter them out so that I don’t
leave any gaping holes in the
retirement process. I do not know
how to plan these things so that all
the ingredients stirred together can
produce an edible cake. On the one
hand, I am retiring at a time when I
know more about my profession
than I have ever known, and have a
skill set that, while imperfect, is still
far better than it was in the
beginning. I can enter a dying
patients’ room without the abject
