Our circumstances are always asking/requiring/demanding
something of us.

We are always locked into an eternal and everlasting
struggle with our circumstances,
trying to impose our way on the way things are.

It doesn't have to be this way.

We can be at war with our circumstances,
or, we can dance with our circumstances.

The choice is ours,
one circumstance at a time.

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.
