LIFE IS A BLAST Minuteman to Ministry A Pastor Looks Back on His Life And Anticipates the Future by Pastor Cecil Thompson Life starts for everyone at the moment of birth. What a profound statement It is what we do with that life that counts. To ask the question, "How in the world did I get here?" Seems to demand another question, "Where is here?" Here is where we happen to be at this very moment. It is not a particular age or a particular achievement. It is where we are right now. I have been writing for many years but most of it has been unrelated to specific periods of time. You might say it has been a recounting of random thoughts, stories, illustrations, and memories. Someone much wiser than me as suggested that while there is still time I need to put down some of the things that I have done that will not be remembered after I'm gone. Isn't that a cheerful thought? And so my story begins. This little boy who was stuck with the name Junior was about to enter life and have the most wonderful experience that can even be imagined. Yes I had many disciplines along the way, but as I look back they were all deserved, and a few I got away with. Please fasten your seat belt and take this trip with me. Pastor Cecil A. Thompson
