Charlie Wear's Notes

  • Vision

    When I was called to pastor the church in Moreno Valley I didn’t have any vision for the assignment or the area. I was accepting the call out of obedience to a commitment I had made to God. It went something like this: “If you say go, I will go.”… Listen ⇢

  • Keeping on…and on

    I’ve never been very good at maintaining. Until I hit my mid-50s I had never worked for anyone other than myself for any longer than two years, and sometimes I quit working for myself before that! I am not sure if it is in my wiring, my attention span, or… Listen ⇢

  • Sleeping in Shifts…

    Lately I’ve been sleeping in shifts. For example, the other night I slept peacefully and soundly from 10 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Then I was awake until 4:30 a.m. and slept another two hours until 6:30 a.m. Apparently this is not an uncommon occurrence for people at my stage of… Listen ⇢

As we get older, because of life experience, the nuances become more apparent, and life can appear more uncertain. And yet, our humanity seeks stability. For… Listen ⇢

  • Living in the Zone

    Do you ever have a day where everything just seems to go right? I don’t know if it’s the extra shot of espresso I had in my latte this morning, or just an unusual feeling of euphoria, but today has been a good day. I spent the entire day today… Listen ⇢

  • Connections and Clusters

    Connections and clusters, everyone has them. We call them families. We call them friends. We call them congregations. We call them co-workers. We all have them to one degree or another. Some of these social connections are an accident of birth and stronger than titanium. Some of them are by… Listen ⇢
