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?

Blue seems to be my color of choice. The woman who owned the frame shop I used in my early days told me, "Jim, your photographs will never sell because there is too much blue in them." She was right, and there is still too much blue in them.
Taking photos that sell when it means not taking the ones we need to take because something within has a yen for the ones we take is to betray something within, and the is the wrongest thing to do ever.
We have to listen to ourselves and do what needs to be done in the service of what guides our boat on its path though the sea.
We are here to serve That Which Knows What's What And What Needs To Be Done About What Is Called For Here, Now, No Matter What Forever. Regardless of what's selling.
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.

I really enjoy the beautiful blues rendered in your image Jim. And as always, I appreciate your words of inspiration and encouragement to be one’s authentic self living in the light. Blessings to you.
