Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
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?
Knowing what needs to be done
and doing it
is all there is to it
in each situation as it arises
all our life long.
Getting what we want
and having our way
doesn't take precedent
over doing what needs to be done,
but we don't neglect ourselves, either.
We. Do. What. Needs. To. Be. Done.
Sometimes that's a chocolate shake.
Sometimes, it's a nap.
Or reading a book.
We are in charge.
We make the call.
We draw the line.
We say what's what.
With all things considered.

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.
