The Spirit’s Call – about me.
Charles Anderson Peterson is my full name, but my friends all call me “C.A.” which is easy to spell and makes it hard for telemarketers to figure out!😉 When I sat up my email as a newsletter, I thought I would just call it the CA Post, ca.post@… but apparently there are lots of c-a-posts as capost, c.a.post, c.post, etc., were all taken. So I just added a suffix to note that we were in the 2000s. So capost2k became my online persona. Since then I have advanced to 3k, 4k and 5k, applying these suffixes for assorted email accounts, in case the gerontologists figure out how to keep us alive for another 3000 years!😂
My friends all call me “c.a.” but you can call me Mr. Peterson.😂
I am on what I call my sixth life now, from childhood1 to college2, to first attempt at a career3, to medical technology4, to general contractor5. I am now retired6, and figure I only have one more life to go. But THAT one will last forever when I go Home7. So until then I will continue to share what little I have learnt in these seven to eight decades. If you benefit from reading some of it, then maybe there WAS a reason for Father to keep me here in spite of the damage I did early on. I sincerely hope so.
1 Kansas City, KS, was the city of my birth and I lived there with my parents and siblings until going to college.
2 I attended a small private mid-west college and received a BA degree in Literature.
3 My social work involved helping people in all walks of life, but after eight years, and discovering I could not handle my own personal problems, I decided to return to my ‘first love’ which was biological science.
4 Finishing a BS in Medical Technology from a renowned mid-west University, it was here I rededicated my life to Jesus and met Anita, a new Christ-follower, and “the rest is history.”😍 I worked in clinical labs for a few years before shifting to research labs at the University of Kentucky. Both these lines of work were rewarding and satisfying.
5 A couple of strokes removed my interest in laboratory work, which surprised me. Praying about and searching for what God wanted me to do, General Contracting for house construction appealed to me, so I started a small construction firm. A total of six strokes, and I am a walking miracle, still functioning as normal . . . which my brother questions, “C.A., who told you that you were normal? Joe Biden or Donald Trump!?”😂
6 Reaching my seventh decade made me consider how little actual work I would get to do in construction. My bride nixed any more ladder work after a couple of falls!🤕 So I closed Alliance Builders in January, 2020, just before the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
7 Heaven is my final destination, as far as one can tell from this side of the grave. Death holds no fear, so why should I be afraid of what people may do? My life is hid in Christ Jesus and He is my Rock, Healer, Deliverer, Baptizer and Coming King.
