Overlooks 2018 — Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
There is a lot I won't miss when it's gone.
I know people who take exception to dying.
To the point of being overwrought about it.

For one thing,
we don't know if our experience is limited
to this life.
It may expand to unimaginable wonders.

We do not know enough to be upset about dying!
I'm looking forward to finding out what's there.
And what isn't.

And see it as an adventure waiting to unfold.

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.
