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?

Who/what serves as the supreme authority in your life? Who/what do you live to serve, make/keep happy with you? Whose happiness with you constitutes the sole purpose of your life? Who/what do you live to please? Who/what do you strive to please/serve every day?
The question of authority is the central question. Get to the bottom of it.
Why do you think the way you think? Value what you value? Believe what you believe? Do what you do?
What is your essential motive? The primary reason you are the way you are and not some other way instead?
Who/what is guiding your boat on its path through the sea?
If you were the only person who mattered to you how differently would you live?
What keeps you from reclaiming yourself and living your life the way you think your life needs to be lived?
What keeps you from declaring your own emancipation proclamation? And being/becoming the person you know you need to be in the time left for living?
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.
