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?

I hate the facts that are the facts! I can't stand the way things are! I detest the truth that cannot be denied! I am abhorred by the things that happen and keep on happening!
The Civil War. Racial divides. School shootings. War of any kind. Hatred spilling over, pouring out, unchecked all around. It is a long list of the things I despise and cannot do anything about.
So I do what I can imagine to do, without caring what my chances are, or what my impact is, or what difference I am making.
I keep it up. Unrelenting. Without stopping or even slowing down.
I call it out! I say what's what! I don't let it get me down! I am energized by my abhorrence! I am spurred on by my disgust! I am the back-flow! I am the consequences! I am unrelenting in my hatred of hatred! And will take no rest nor allow the fascist to rest until the world is as it should have been from the start and everyone can live and sleep in peace with Truth, Justice, Equality, Freedom spilling over, pouring out, forever everywhere.
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.
