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?

Who knows you best? Why die unknown? We know ourselves in the act of articulating who we are to someone who cares enough about us to listen.
I think it was Carl Jung who said "We have the problems we have as a world because people don't have anyone to tell their stories to."
You know how we have churches on every block? Nobody goes there to tell their stories. They go there to hear the same old tired story year after year.
We should bust up that monopoly, take it over, and start telling our stories to one another. That would be good for everyone. And good for the churches!
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.
