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?

Donald Trump will be synonymous with ruthlessness and brutality whose rule will be remembered as a blight upon humanity worldwide.
He wants a missile parade on his birthday in June. Missiles are weapons of war and destruction. Trump wants to relish the power he holds with a parade of missiles so that everyone might know who he is and what he is capable of.
Who doesn't know who he is and what he is capable of? Only the people who voted for him, it seems. Who cannot see him because their fantasies of him keep getting in the way. But the truth will out in time and the wailing will not end when the truth is realized and can no longer be denied. All will rue the day when denial no longer works. Ah, but. The dogs are let loose upon the world and there is no calling them back. Viscousness is unleashed, gleefully without restraint. "I told you I was a snake when you let me in."
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.
