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?

Authenticity and affection are the two missing qualities in wannabe knights of the realm throughout time and place. The heroic characteristics in the comic book hero's left out by artists and authors who themselves are amiss of insight and knowhow, and are carried away by the culture's captivation by power and might, authority and control.
The Buddha and Jesus and those of their bent caught the drift of the flow of the way, however, and lived with hearts of integrity and compassion and eyes on the essence of what matters most.
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.
