Jan Notes
by Jan McKenzie
I'll do it this way. It's easier. I'll call these episodes notes. Just notes. For now. It is not a shopping list, to-do list, or reminders. It's more personal, but not a journal. I'm talking with you.So you might ask, who is Jan and what gets him up in the morning? What keeps him up at night? Who cares? For more context, I have been a pastor, an addict, clinically depressed, with three marriages and three divorces, not all in that order.I live as a Christian now. Of course then, we wonder, what does that mean?
