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?

We are our responsibility.
We are in charge of our balance and harmony,
our integrity,
sincerity,
spirit,
energy,
vitality,
mind,
body,
heart-soul--
within the forces of destabilization,
disruption,
disharmony,
diversion,
distraction,
disinterest,
denial,
chaos
and
lethargy.
It is as easy as our answer
to the question:
What do we live to do?
There is what we do for a living,
and there is what we live to do.
What do we live to do?
If we are living to make money,
what's the money for?
How does what we live to do
serve our balance and harmony,
our integrity,
sincerity,
spirit,
energy,
vitality,
mind,
body,
heart-soul?
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.
