Bringing to life the holy within us
and living as the divine in human form
puts us in the league with the Christ
and requires the same of us
that was demanded of him,
namely that we live without concern for
profit or gain,
advantage and advancement,
exploitation and prosperity...
and simply do what is called for
in each situation as it arises
with the gifts of our original nature,
innate virtues
(The things we do best
and enjoy doing most),
and our intrinsic intuition,
in the service of what needs to be done
for the joy of doing it
and the satisfaction of having done it
throughout the time left for living.

Amen! May it be so!

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.
