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?

The Divine Spark within comes alive as we live in ways that are true to our heart, our original nature, our innate virtues (the things we do best and love/enjoy most) our intrinsic intuition, in doing what is called for in each situation as it arises, when/where/how (One thing, not three) it needs to be done, for the joy of doing it and the satisfaction of having done it, no matter what, all our life long.
We bring God to life in our lives this way.
That's how it has always been done. And, we cannot do it by thinking about it! It is spontaneous, automatic, natural, arising independently of reason, logic, laws and regulations to be exactly what is appropriate to every occasion from those who are aligned with the flow of life and being through the circumstances of existence in all times and places, true to themselves and to what needs to be done. World without end!
"There's nothing to it but to do it!" (Maya Angelou).
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.
