Low Tide at Stonington Harbor — Deer Isle, Maine

If we are going to take something on faith, why not take it on faith that we all are born having what we need to find what we need to do what needs to be done?

What do the doctrines and the dogmas and the dharmas and the sutras and the catechism’s have that beats just having what we need?

Why do people scare themselves into believing nonsense? Just because someone who doesn’t know any more than they know tells them to?

This world is crazy. Where would we go to find a place that makes sense? That anybody could see makes sense? I wonder if this is the dumbest planet in the Cosmos. I would hate to live on one any dumber.

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.
