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?
Sitting quietly, waiting for what is called for by the situation at hand to urge us into action in doing what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done, then settling back into the next thing that is called for, etc., is a routine that has little time for anxiety, fear, worry, with no room in it for anything other than seeing, hearing, knowing, doing and being ready to see, hear, know, do again, situation by situation, remembering that maintaining our balance and harmony is one thing that needs to be done all along 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.
