After 34 years working in energy engineering and trading, Ken Snodgrass decided to make a change. He retired in 2014 from his London position as General Manager of Shell Energy Europe and moved to Austin, Texas. After 3 months of settling into his new community, Ken was sitting in a seminary classroom as a full-time graduate student.

Theology is a language or discourse about God. It is faith seeking understanding. Theology has a unique vocabulary which must be understood before one…

Working Longer
80-points. These were joyful, magical words when I worked. “Do you have your 80-points?” “How many years until you get your 80-points?” Retirement with full benefits was reached at 80-points: the sum of your age and the years of employment. Health benefits and a defined benefit pension were secured once…
