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?

There is only being who we are, doing what is ours to do, the way only we can do it. In each situation as it arises. No matter what. What's the problem?
Oh, wait! I see! Having our way--right? Getting what we want, when we want it--right?
What does thinking about what we think about keep us from thinking about?
That's called diversion, distraction, escape, denial.
Which is where we spend most of our time, no?
And not being who we are, doing what is ours to do in each situation as it arises, no matter what.
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.
