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?
Waiting it out has a clear advantage over other options.
Particularly over forcing the issue and going to war, and suicide, and alcoholism...
Native Americans are waiting it out. Palestinians are waiting it out. LGBTQ people are waiting it out. People of Color, Descendants of slaves, Immigrants, Women, The poverty stricken, ...
The list is long of people who are waiting it out.
And while they wait, they remember. They know. They will not forget. They will wait it out. As long as it takes. Over generations.
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.
