The people I admire and look to for advice… counselors, colleagues, and confidantes

Daily writing prompt
List the people you admire and look to for advice…

List the people? Are there sufficient persons whom I admire and would look to for advice, so that I could make a list?

  • The Rt. Rev. Alex Whitcomb Cameron — Bishop, Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh.
    A supremely competent expositor of the word of God.
  • Rev. Jeffrey Wylie — Rector, Christ’s Anglican Chuch.
    If you find yourself in need of pastoral care, I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have at my side in during a medical crisis or after the passing of a loved one.
  • Rev. Brian B. Chaffee — Pastor, Zion’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.
    Brian is the Pastor who baptized me when I first become a Christian. I will always value him in the role of a spiritual advisor, even though I’ve left the Lutheran Church.
  • Doctor Juan J. Chahin, MD — Cardiology
    Dr. Chahin keeps me on my feet and out of the morgue.
  • Doctor Sarah D. Treter, MD — Surgery
    Dr Treter intervened when my appendix went supernova. She also manages my angry thyroid.

There are certainly more people I admire. Some are teachers, police officers, or pastry chefs. There are also more people to whom I might turn for advice in the context of specific situations. Given a recent and extremely negative experience, I will never again look to any kind of therapist or “life coach” for advice. It’s not that I don’t believe in mental illness, but I would be wary of the distinction between psychologists and scammers.
