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?

Everybody wants to be happy. Donald Trump plays that to the hilt. He tells them the Democrats will make them unhappy in all the ways he tells them the Democrats are for everything Real People are against: Immigrants, Sex-changing, Homosexuals, High grocery prices and raising taxes.
He doesn't ask them how happy they were during his Presidency. He tells them how unhappy they will be under Kamala Harris.
I say, "What does happy know?" Happy only knows what it wants and doesn't want.
What does wanting know?
Does wanting know what it takes? Does wanting have what it takes? To do what it takes? To tend the infrastructure that takes care of the needs of the Republic? That guards, defends, allows, enables Liberty and Justice for ALL???
Highways! Lead-free water! A living wage! An end to hunger and homelessness! Medical insurance! The freedom to be in charge of our own personal healthcare! An environment that honors the climate! A government that works to serve things like these worldwide!
Jesus put getting what we want and being happy in service to doing what needs to be done and doing unto others as we would have them do unto us even if it means picking up our own cross in living as he did all day every day with liberty and justice for all.
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.
