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?

Photography is a miracle of time and place. Everything is. And it goes mostly unacknowledged and unappreciated. We should be walking around agape with wonder at every here, now we experience. Instead, we rush on to the next here, now, having not noticed the last one at all.
Our life is wasted on us-- we live without bothering to pay attention to where we are, when we are, how we are or what we are doing.
Because we are thinking about other things. And a good bit of the time we couldn't tell you what we were thinking about if you asked us.
What are we thinking? What do we think we are doing?
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.
