This is who we are
and this is what we are about!

Decide for yourself what constitutes "this"
in both of those statements,
and to what extent it applies
to the larger group that comprises the "we"
you consider yourself to be a part of.

And live to make that clearly evident
in your life,
individually and collectively
in the time you have left to live--
so that everyone who knows you
knows who you are
and what you are about.

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.
