Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?

These are not peaceful times.
How do you find your peace
when there is no peace?
Just breathing helps me.
"Just breathing" means
just breathing.
No thinking.
No worrying.
No anxiety.
No drama.
No what-if's.
No...
Just breathing.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Count to five
in sync with your heart beat.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Count to five.
...
Like that.
Just breathe.
Let that be your substitute for peace
until peace returns.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing.
I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters and five granddaughters within about twenty minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
