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?

Where would we be without our escapes, diversions, distractions, denial, retreats...?
The experience of being alive asks too much of us "late and soon."
Squaring ourselves up with "the way things are" is an on-going, never-ending task. "It's always something." And we all need a break from time to time, and never seem to catch a break. It is "more of the same" all the time.
So, here's to courage, and good humor, and the ability to not take anything with more seriousness than it deserves!
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.
