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/having our way is not the way. Living aligned with the Way is the way. Doing what is called for here, now, when, where and how it is called for is the Way. It isn’t having, getting anything. It is being who we need to be, doing what needs to be done, here, now in every situation as it arises. To do that, we have to listen, look, see, hear, and know what we know. Which asks us to spend time being quiet, observing inner and outer, in order to see what we look at, realize what’s what, and do what is called for. That is called living live as it needs to be lived.
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.
