Thanks Skip! That’s too funny. I don’t know if you’ve heard of or taken the Living Your Strengths program, based upon the Clifton Strenthsfinder program. But my top strength is Intellection – which means I am a thinker. I think and contemplate.

My wife always jokes(well, sometimes its not joking) that by the time I’m ready to discuss an issue with her, I have already thought through the issue to the nth degree, and worked it out in my mind… I do have to agree with you though, that it is usually a sound decision…:)

Well buddy, welcome to the club haha. I had a personality test in college and scored off the charts in thinking category. Yea, so I tend to over think or as my wife says “think things to death”. On the bright side of it, usually when we do act on something it’s well thought out, it’s usually a sound decision. Right? Think out and get back to me. Hahaha Happy Father’s Day 5 you and all the Father’s out there.
Keep up the great writing

Joyful tears. I have been working at discerning as well. You are absolutely correct that we humans constantly overthink. Thus I often berate myself for not pursuing the more lucrative career that I started but I realize that I love what I do. I can love because of what I do. That love is growing, deepening. God’s will. Yet just like the flowers in my garden, love requires fortification. And the Eucharist is there. Blessed are we. Our Father has provided. Happy Father’s Day.

Lord take me where you want me to go
Have me meet who you want me to meet
Tell me what to say
Then keep me out of Your way!
In a way this is similar to Merton’s prayer I hope you use it
