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?
My intuition seems to be a spontaneous response to my life-situation that is reliably "there" without me thinking it into action.
Before my intuition, I am like the Moved in response to the Mover.
And I'm wondering if perhaps we projected God onto our intuition in the long ago and far away when we didn't have much more than our intuition coming between us and a savage world outside the cave.
The powers of our intuition could easily be interpreted as the intervention of God.
And, like that, we develop doctrine and dogma and beliefs and heaven and hell and here we are.
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.
