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?

We hold the power of creation in/over each situation as it arises.
What we make of it makes all the difference. What we say about it brings it to life. We speak/see reality into existence. It all--ourselves included--becomes what we say it is.
Be careful with your words-- you speak the truth into being.
What we say becomes real in the act of speaking it forth.
We speak the world in which we live into being. How we talk about it brings it forth.
We are God in this way.
It is the Way of life and being.
We are born with the power of the Way. How we wield it tells the tale.
Look at your life and tell me it isn't so.
Look at your future and tell me what you see. You are telling me what will be.
Let your seeing guide your saying. Once said, it is so.
If we understood the power at our disposal, we would speak less and contemplate, consider, more.
The world takes shape around us.
Emptiness is waiting for us to give it form.
"We are the hammer and the chisel, and the stone" (Alexis Carrel).
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.
