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?

Jesus and the Buddha were independent thinkers. They were their own authority. Jesus said, ""You have heard it said, but I say unto you..." And, "Who do YOU say that I am?"
The Buddha said, "Don't listen to me! Listen to YOU!"
And they lived their life in light of what mattered to them.
Now there are churches and temples, doctrines and dharma, ministers and priests and teachers everywhere to tell us how to think, what to do.
Who told the Buddha what to think? Who told Jesus what to do?
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.
