Made for Wonder 05/24/2008 Oil Paint Rendered — Crabtree Falls, Blue Ridge Parkway, Little Switzerland, North Carolina

We are made for wonder.

Wonder is the reason we are here.

Wonder is all there is.

We are here to look around and admire the beauty and the wonder.

The ground/foundation of existence is wonder.

We go to the moon–for what?
For the wonder of it.
The joy of it.
The WOW!

Period.

There is nothing to get, to have, to own, possess, do…
beyond looking around, going “Wow!”

I’m glad to be a part of that,
and to know that’s all there is to it.

Wow!

Where have you gone “Wow!” today?

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.
