Carolina Thread Trail — Waxhaw, North Carolina
Spending time regularly with the silence,
scanning our body for indications
of need for our attention,
listening for what might arise
in the stillness,
we signal our readiness
to comply with what is called for,
and position ourselves
to deal with what's what
in the spirit of those
looking forward to what they do best.

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.
