Maine Moon — Mount Desert Island
Thinking is the source
of all of our troubles today,
and every day.

Our troubles disappear "like that"
when we change the way we think about them.

Thus, thinking is also the solution
to all of our troubles today.

Changing the way we think
changes everything.

See how many different ways
you can think about the things
you normally think about.

If you sense trouble arising,
change the ways you are thinking about it.
Disappear it running toward you
in mid-stride.

A little poof here
and a little poof there,
here a poof,
there a poof,
everywhere a poof, poof,
oh, my mercy!
Changing the way we think
will change the world!

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.
