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?

It matters how we live our life. It matters how we treat one another. Babies matter. Children matter. People matter. It all matters. What we do and leave undone. What we love and what we hate, despise, detest matter. And it is up to each of us to live as though it is so. To live as though life matters. Even though Donald Trump and his minions refuse to do so. It is up to the rest of us to pick up their slack and to care about the way we live upon the earth Because it matters how we live with each other and all others. No?
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.
