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?
Huntington Beach Sunrise — Merrill’s Inlet, South Carolina
I once drove long distances for sunrises and sunsets, moonrises and moonsets. Not so much anymore. I trust them to perform on their own. They seem to have it down, and take care of business quite handily without my assistance.
It is a comfort to know that things can manage complex sequences and show up on time, ready to go, again, day after day. With no complaining or delays, throughout time. No? And I can't get the horizon straight. But, there is a fix for that.
Would that all things could be as easily corrected. No? Again. And if there is a bit of overcompensation, what of it? Nature does it perfectly every day. No? Again.
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.
