A word from Jim....

This is an exerpt of a longer message from the minister of Presbyterian Church of the Covenant

We have to imagine our lives into being.

We have to live toward the image that we have in mind for ourselves, our lives. What do we intend? What are the qualities that we want to exhibit? Who, and how, do we want to be? Who are our models?

Living with nothing particular in mind, with nothing in mind beyond "success," or "money," or "marriage," or "happiness," leads to a drifting aimlessness, or to settling for "whatever" comes along "the path of least resistance."

Thinking through what we mean with the lives we are living, and working to adjust the image, sharpen it, clarify it, bring it into focus, and give it form in the moment of our living, brings soul to bear upon the design of our lives, and enables a degree of wholeness that we would not, otherwise, achieve.
