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?

Getting up and doing what is called for, where, when and how it is called for, in each situation as it arises is just what we do. If we go on vacation, we do what is called for, where, when and how it is called for even on vacation. There are no days off. We go to the Loo every time we need to go to the Loo, even on vacation. We do what is called for all of the time.
Once we settle in to it, it is just a matter of stepping into the moment, here, now, and doing what is called for, just like we breathe every moment all of the time. We don’t get tired of breathing and quit, so we keep doing the right thing at the right time, in the right place, in the right way. It is who we are. It is what we do.
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.
