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?

We have to find our focus, our grounding foundation, the essence of who we are and what we are about. What makes us US, defines who are are, always have been and always will be.
We have to recover the face that was ours before we were born.
Don't we? Don't you know what I'm talking about? Doesn't it ring true with you? We know who we aren't, don't we? We know who we are NOT, am I right? That's a start. It's a help. And now we know what we are about. Let's seek out who we ARE! From this time forth, and for ever more.
I write. I'm a writer. I ask questions. I make inquiries. I get to the bottom things. I investigate. I am a loner, a lone wolf, a hermit, a recluse, a solitare. I don't trust people. I have been used, abused, lied to, betrayed. I seek a safe, reliable, place to be.
What are the things that characterize you?
We owe it to ourselves to know who we are before we die.
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.
