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?
I am amazed at my flip from going anywhere to take a photograph to being perfectly content to sit looking out the window with a computer filled with images I have taken in my lap and being completely disinterested in going anywhere for any reason. It is as though I have placed myself in solitary confinement. Perhaps by way of my realization that the silence is the source of knowledge, seeing, hearing, understanding, contentment, peace and tranquility everlasting. And what is going going to get me that I don’t have here, now?
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.
