Jesus lived Jesus’ idea of the life he needed to live in light of what the situation at hand called for when, where and how the situation at hand called for his life to be lived. We cannot hope to do better than living our idea of the life we need to live in light of what the situation at hand calls for, when, where and how the situation calls for our life to be lived.

Living to see, hear, know, understand what’s what, what’s happening and what is called for in response in each situation as it arises using the gifts of our original nature, our innate virtues (The things we do best and enjoy doing most), our inherent imagination and our intrinsic intuition is to do exactly what Jesus did, and if anyone thinks they can do better than that, get out of their way and let them do it!

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.
