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?
Once we understand that life is out to get us-- and will get us eventually-- we can ease into the day with an eye on our chances and possibilities, recognizing the perils and staying out of harm's way, making life work for its jollies by remembering that we reduce our vulnerabilities by limiting our exposures, and using the hand rails and banisters when going downstairs, for example.
Why smoke/drink yourself to death? Whose side are you on?
Know the difference between trusting your luck and pushing your luck, and stay on the smart side of life all the way to the end of the line-- remembering that we have a say about how long that is.
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.
