Life is good.
Good should be shared. Enjoy.
This site shares some of my experiences and insights, using humor whenever possible since smiles and laughter are both in short supply and high demand in our culture.
Who is Paul Lane? Like most of us, it’s complicated.
He’s had 18 – 23 vocations, depending how you define a vocation. If managing a restaurant is a different occupation than a short order cook, count 23; if not, 18. He retired from the State of California as a vocational counselor in 2015. He is still available for business consulting, analyst or other part time gigs. Use the contact form if you’re interested in exploring mutually beneficial opportunities.
One occupation, Christian minister, was an extension of his awakening to the Gospel of Jesus Christ (not to be confused with church attendance) while serving in the US Navy during the Vietnam war. Still serving the Lord Jesus Christ, it is very obvious to even casual observers that today’s organized religions are mostly empty platitudes designed to manipulate weak minds, so, no, not attending church. As one minister friend once said, there has to be a better way of measuring ministerial success than counting how many people can be moved from one building to another on the designated day of worship.
Paul measures success firstly in relationships with those in his daily life: his lovely wife, Alice, children, and grandchildren, and, to a lesser degree, business acquaintances and coworkers. A basic philosophy of life is:
Look for the good in everyone; don’t ignore weakness or evil, and do no wrong to anyone.
