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?
We cooperate with the time and place of our living by the way we respond to our environment, in tipping table servers say, or thanking the bus driver, or exhibiting a smoothly soothing attitude in the way we deal with the everyday affairs of life. Our attitude makes a difference. Transforming the world starts with the way we receive the world and the people who share it with us. A saddle blanket means a lot to the horse. And a kindness buffer means a lot to the day.
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 agree. Once you see and feel the value of treating the people you meet during the day with consideration, you find you can’t go back. It becomes ingrained.
