Our worldview is 
how we think things are.
Changing our worldview
is the task of maturation:
Seeing how things actually are.

This is also called enlightenment.
Realization.
Waking up.
Seeing the light.
Coming to our senses.

Jesus put it this way:
"The old has passed away!
Behold! The new has come!"

We think it is one way,
and yet, it is another way entirely!
We think it is like this,
and it is like that!

The transition is more
than some people can take.
Making the transition
is what is asked of all of us.

The task of living.
The work of being alive.

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.
