The Mill — Schiele Nature Museum, Gastonia, North Carolina
Nothing ever ends.
There are no final outcomes.
Everything is always "in process,"
being transformed and converted
all the way.

Growing up, you might say.
World without end.
Just "more like we are now
than we were when we got here."

Picking up different accents
and attitudes all along.

"Adjustment and accommodation, Kid,
Adjustment and accommodation."

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.
