Rest In Peace Frederick Buechner

Frederick Buechner (July 11, 1926 – August 15, 2022) was an early inspiration and mentor to me in the early 80’s and continued to touch my heart through the years. A pastor, novelist, theologian, and genuinely funny writer, I am thankful for his mentoring. Thank you for all that you have meant to so many throughout your life.

From his book, Now and Then: A Memoir of Vocation Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace
