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 are watching Democracy crumble as we watch. The British should have thought of this all those years ago. "Forget war! We will just buy you out. How about a million Pounds?" And the Civil War? Same thing. Lincoln makes a deal with the Confederacy. "Forget succession and we will pay you handsomely, every year for the next hundred years!" Trump just paid already wealthy old white guys to go along with him. To say "Yes!" to everything he suggests. Brilliant move. He will sell off the Armed Forces and buy off all his enemies. The guy is a ton smarter than I am. I would have never thought of it. And I couldn't have pulled it off even if I had thought of it. What a guy!
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.
