Listening to our body, knowing what our body knows, allowing our body to guide us on our path through the sea, is a savvy choice for finding our way along The Way.

Our body talks to us all of the time. Instead of listening, we opt for Over The Counter remedies to over ride the wisdom of the ages and impose our idea of how things ought to be on the life we are living.

The life we are living fails to take our best interests into account in favor of what we want when, where and how we want it.

Ignoring what our body knows in the service of Having Our Way Now is not the best response to doing what is called for in each situation as it arises–especially when that which knows what’s what and what’s the best response to the options available to us here, now is right here, right now waiting to take the lead if we will only sit down and listen to what it has to say all along the way to The Way.

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.
