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?

Our frame of mind makes all the difference. Fragility or stability hangs in the balance, depending upon our frame of mind. Change that and everything changes. We are as steady and confident as our point of view permits.
All of which is to say that the MAGA mind set is far from confident and self-assured. It is hanging by a thread, held in check only by the bluster of Donald Trump. Without his brash behavior and getting by with dancing on the edge, they are without foundation, and teeter on the brink of collapse and ruin. If he slips, the show is over, the lights go out, and great will be the fall of the House of Trump.
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.
