Dr. Paul Robinson — When You Come to the End of….

Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

Leader — Brian Moore

Speaker — Dr. Paul Robinson

Title — When You Come to the End of….

Topic —How you end a day, a year, and a life has much to do with how you begin them and lived them. There are two ways one can begin a day or go through life, with thought or not, with a purpose or perhaps a plan. Or one can just let whatever happen happen and then perhaps blame someone else or life itself. A day, a life can be lived consciously or not. In this talk we will consider questions that you can ask yourself, questions that can put you more in charge of the quality of your day, year, or life. It all comes down to how we handle our “good” and “bad” fortune. We can use all whatever happens in life as food for our psychological and spiritual growth- or not. That’s the challenge isn’t it. To live the life you want and not the one that perhaps just happened through fate.

Bio — At 83 Paul Robinson is continuing to wake up. He has been a student of life since beginning to wake up at the age of 17 when he started college. Being warned by his fundamentalist preacher not to listen to the more liberal college professors, he was compelled to listen and to examine his beliefs. He has earned to listen to all points of view while sifting through them for the ones that are life affirming and rational. He loves all humanity and all life forms (except mosquitoes). He enjoyed a career in teaching and psychology for over fifty years. He continues to read and write and speak to groups. He grew up in rural Southeast Ohio in a family of ten children, a family poor in material possessions but rich in love. He was blessed with a loving mother who along with the help of loving older brothers and sisters raised her children as a single parent at the death of his father when he was three. He loves sharing ideas with people and being challenged by their perspectives. He is enjoying meeting new people in this church where he feels right at home.
