Along NY Hwy 30 — Adirondack Park, New York, 2014
There is doing what we have to do to pay the bills and make a living. Beyond that, there is being who we are, doing what is ours to do. In addition to that, there is doing what is called for, when, where and how it is called for, in each situation as it arises. And that's it. So where does all the noise and confusion come from? Why all the trauma and drama? What is with the complexity and dissatisfaction?

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.
