When we look,
we see our expectations,
judgments,
biases/prejudices,
evaluations,
appraisals,
analysis,
conclusions,
inferences,
assumptions...

We cannot get ourselves
out of our way
in order to see
what we look at.

We see what we know is there.

If you want to fix something,
fix that.

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.
