Who am I? Have you ever asked yourself that? When people ask you, is your answer, "I work at..."? That's fine, until you quit, get fired, are outsourced, or retire. Then who are you? Are you what people say that you are? A gentleman, a rogue, a scholar? What if they are wrong? Have they misjudged you? Perhaps you seem slow-witted to a genius and a genius to a slow-wit. Will you ever arrive at the truth by listening to so many different points of view? My name is Scottish, but I can trace my ancestry to other nations. If I identify myself with the Scots, do I ignore all the other peoples I descend from? I identify as an American because it stands for something. If America ceases to support the Constitution, would I be willing to lose my identity as an American, to take a stand for something higher? My great grandfather did just that, during the Civil War. How well do I know myself? Fairly well, I'd say, but without negating what we already know, don't we discover new things about ourselves as we pass into a new stage of life or as we merely experience something new? I offer a link here to my autobiography, my life so far. It is not great literature, just one man's story, which I hope will help you better understand your own journey through life. God knows you and me better than others know us, even better than we know ourselves. For convenience, we often form our identity on the basis of the transient in our lives, but isn't it comforting to know that God knew you before you made a name for yourself and loved you then, and that he will love you just as much when you are misunderstood or when the things that used to define "who you are" are suddenly no more? Are you at peace with God? If not, it is a straightforward matter to resolve. Visit this link:
