Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
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?
My idea of love, as in “I love you,” is no expectations, no requirements. I have come to this point by being told, “I love you,” by family members from birth to the present day, and those older than I am had plenty of expectations and requirements, my father especially. Out of that ages long experience, when I say, “I love you,” I mean, “You are free to be you, no strings attached.” If the Spirit can “Be like the wind, blowing where it will,” surely we can follow suit as it suits us to do so.
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.
