What’s next? – about me, March 2017 update

What's next?

For as long as I can remember, I've thought my life would end when God's done with me.  There were times when I was pretty sure He was - but apparently I was wrong.  Then it was time to ask - what's next.

The previous versions of "about me" tell how I got to where I was up until a couple years ago.  After being threatened and then written up for something that didn't happen - by someone I'd worked for over 30 years - it was obvious that I was going to be fired in an attempt by that person to save his own job.  I was praying - having a conversation with God - about how to save my job.  The clear answer was - "Don't!  Leave! Don't fight Me on this.  I have something better for you."  

That was three years ago.  I'm still waiting to find out what that next thing is.

Plenty of things happened along the way - things that I'm sure were to prepare me for what's next.  You can read about them on the site.  

The latest thing was surgery, earlier this week.  I just recently wrote something about a suggestion by someone that the world would be better off if people had no free will.  My comparison was to look at people as robots - no free will.  It's called Would the world be better off if people were like robots? Ironically, I had robotic surgery.  Maybe that was in my mind, subconsciously - but it wasn't something I actually thought about - putting the two of them together.  
Anyway - the point is, being at home, recovering, and unable to do much of anything - I've had a lot of time to think, pray and sleep.

A passage came to me during this time -

The Calling of Levi

Mk 2:13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
Mk 2:15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and “sinners” were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the “sinners” and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and ‘sinners’?”
Mk 2:17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
