Pastoral guidance

A growing number of people are leaving the organized church with no intention or returning at any time in the foreseeable future. But there are still times when they wish they could talk to a pastor. I believe your spiritual health thrives when your relationship with God belongs to you and God. A pastor can never be more than a guest in that relationship. They can bring, first, their loving acceptance and respect, and then also offer their expertise and knowledge for your consideration and benefit. I am available in that role if you need me.

"Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." ~ Andre Gide

A word to the wise

On this page I would like to reiterate what is on the home page. Although I can be a resource to you, our relationship cannot be a substitute for therapy. Living With Wisdom is an opportunity for those well enough to accept reasonable responsibility for their thinking, their emotions, their choices and circumstances.

“A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.” ~ William Arthur Ward
