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 says so? Whose word is the law? By what authority do they determine that they are the authority? Who get to interpret Jesus and/or Buddha? Who gets to say "My view of Jesus/Buddha is the authorized version of Jesus/Buddha!"?
There are a lot of ideas circulating about Jesus/Buddha, etc. Who knows what they are talking about? How can we be sure?
I'm thinking one person's view is as good as another's, in that we are talking about sketchy evidence between 2,500 and 3,000 years old.
Talk about hearsay! That's some hearsay there, claiming to be the last word.
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.
