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 intuitive guides are reliable standards of faith and practice. We only have to be tuned into what is present with us throughout the days of our lives.
Resonance/resonation are "Yes!" Enthusiasm/vitality/energy/exuberance are "Yes!"
repulsive/revolting/disgusting/obnoxious are "No!" disquieting/apprehension/discontent are "No!"
Once we get "Yes!" and "No!" down everything else falls into place around that.
Being alert to what we are dismissing, discounting, denying/ignoring will go a long way toward keeping us centered on the beam and true to the path.
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.
