Where do you find what is helpful?
Where do you find what you need
to help you along life's way?

You are here, and that leads me to suppose
you find this "place" to be helpful--
unless this is your first visit
and we will have to wait to see
how helpful you think it is.

I hope it is helpful--
I fully intend it to be so,
offering, as I do, what is helpful to me,
both in offering it,
and in contemplating what it means
to be helpful
as a part of "a well-considered life,"
which is, I take it,
the only kind of life worth out time.

And knowing what is helpful
and where to find it,
and returning there often,
certainly has its place
in a well-considered life!

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.
