There is nothing beyond contentment and peace,
being at one with circumstances just as they are,
to want,
or seek
or strive for.

What those who want,
and seek
and strive for
is to be content and at peace,
at one with circumstances just as they are.

What is preventing that,
interfering with that,
keeping that from happening?

How we see what we look at
makes all the difference.

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.
