Child of God

Myself (left), my sister Rosalyn, and my brother David in 1957.

 Sometimes throughout my life when I have been asked why I continue doing Pastor/ministry jobs for a living I have said, "It's who I am." While reading this morning I was reminded that is not true. Being a Pastor is not "who I am." Who I am is a child of God. Me, Rich Thornton, a child of God. You too, whatever you do for a living, whatever your role in or out of your family, and every other task you take on in life, who you are is a child of God.
Throughout my life, I have been a wandering minstrel who enjoys writing and singing songs as well as writing and telling stories. I also enjoy listening to and reading books. Along the way, it is a delight to travel and spend time with my family and friends. I like banana splits but seem to rarely have one. Most days I take walks and a lot of days I take pictures of what is around me. My aim is to reflect hope as I travel through life.
