Lent 2026 Day 22 – Memoirs
I finished reading Patrick Stewart’s memoir “Make It So” – a long, interesting read by one of my favorite actors.
Worth reading at least once, it has given me a deeper appreciation for Stewart and his work. His style is amiable and his storytelling is engaging. From his humble beginnings to his greatest triumphs, he delights in his successes and owns his mistakes. He comes across as decidedly human – one who has had an incredibly interesting life.
A common thread is the people who made an impact in his life – good or bad. Meaningful relationships are a cherished part of his story.
As a former music student with plenty of performances in my time, I could relate to his live theater experiences on some level.
Few of us will ever have such talent or experiences. But after reading any memoir or biography one can’t help but think: how will I be remembered when I’m gone? I don’t want to be remembered for accomplishments or notoriety. I hope people would remember me as someone who tried to follow Jesus Christ and showed it in the way I lived and treated others.
