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?

The path unfolds before those who start walking in the service of their intrinsic intuition, with no outcome or destination in mind.
To walk as a devoted partner, not as a way of getting somewhere, is to be mindfully aware of each moment and what is called for there as the purpose of the journey.
This here, this now, is the point! How faithfully do we respond to what is needed? Is liege loyalty and filial devotion apparent? Is fealty afoot?
Not where we are going, but HOW we are going, is the question of the way that is asked of all travelers.
Be prepared for the question every step along the path.
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.
