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?

What stirs your interest?
Piques your curiosity?
Ignites your passion?
Catches your eye?
Calls your name?
Encourages your participation?
How many of those things
are in a day?
A week?
A month?
How can you restructure your life
to include more of those things
in your days,
weeks,
months?
If you are plodding through
too many days that are just alike
with little in them that stirs you to life,
it's time for a shift in direction.
Give your interests,
your curiosity,
your passion,
your eye
the driver's seat
and invite them to take you
where they would like to go.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
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, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
