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?
The things we are moved to do are the most wonderful things about us. Children in a sandbox. Guided by their own sense of what now, lost in the process of one now leading to another are my image of the best life has to offer, and if we aren't giving ourselves to what moves us for the wonder of it and the enjoyment of being lost in it, not knowing where it is going, and loving the idea of being captivated by forces quite beyond us for nothing more than the experience of its own joy carrying us away through hours of superfluous compulsion.
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.
