Lake Martin Sunset Mirror — Beau Bridge, Louisiana, 2014

I have nursed a recent realization into being: God is a psychic reality, not a spiritual being.

Which means, of course, that we are God. We bring God to life, or not, in the way we live.

We don’t “believe,” we DO! Or, do-not.

And it is not great and grand things that we need to do.

It is “a cup of cold water” kind of things, daily, all of the time, as God would do it, if God were real, and here, now.

Just doing here, now right. The way here, now, needs to be done, is all it takes to raise Jesus from the dead again.

Jesus got it about God, and did it. And called us to follow him.

And we have refused to do that, failed to do that, big time.

We talk about BELIEVING and leave DOING undone.

We TALK, TALK, TALK, TALK…

And never once DO!

God is a psychic reality and not a spiritual being.

We bring God to life in our lives, or not. Here, now. Every day.

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.
