December, 2004: Hello!
This month I am beginning a new adventure: blogging. Allow me to introduce myself.
I stopped working in 1998, and since have been doing only what I love. I describe this in my mission statement. Basically it is helping people achieve their greater potential. As a psychologist, pastor, coach, mentor, community activist, former military, husband, father, grandfather, cancer survivor, lover: all of these over some years, I have a number of activities for focus. I wear a lot of hats.
Currently, "Becoming a Spiritual Warrior in a Fierce Landscape" is a volunteer project at the Fayette County Detention center. We have four volunteers, and are developing a total program that teaches inmates to embrace the jail experience as a "boot camp" for changing their life style. The Desert Spirituality of the Fathers and early monks is the model for this. The current workbook is some thirty pages and we are now in our 23rd month.
I teach part time at Midway College, currently (Fall, 2004) a course in Social Ethics. I helped develop the new core curriculum in Human Resource Management there this past year.
I have a Eucharistic ministry as a Catholic priest to several retirement villages.
I am co-facilitator in the Spiritual Growth Network of Kentucky, see www.lexpages.com/sgn, where I have a number of articles posted under "Articles by Paschal Baute" addressing various aspects of the spiritual journey and Christian faith.
I also serve the Lexington - Fayette County UCG and the local School Board as a psychologist screening candidates for the Fire Department and public school bus drivers. I also serve several religious jurisdictions in helping screen and assess candidates.
My main fun is with two grandchildren, Quinn Bell, age 4, and Chloe, age 2, who fortunately live only about 15 minutes away. I serve as their "entertainment center."
My main current love is being witness to the weddings of the forty some odd couples who come to me each year to witness their weddings. They choose the actual ceremony from a menu of choices. I will post later the homily about love as the "most amazing grace of all," that is used in the wedding.
I am undertaking a community project in sentencing reform in Kentucky for 2005, and currently enlisting those who might support such a project. I have recently applied to the Herald-Leader to be a community columnist and that will announced some time this month.
I am blessed beyond all my dreams, with good health and energy and drive, wife and children. See the prayer called by Catholics as the Magnificat, in Luke, chapter 1, v 44 ff.
I love creating new ways for people to "think outside the box" to become more whole, authentic, effective and empowered.
Welcome, lovers, to my blog.
Namaste
Paschal
