Kiva Ladder — Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

I would like to conduct exit interviews with people worldwide to see if they think life is worth the effort. And I would like to conduct those interviews with populations who lived in different centuries throughout time. I would like to spend eternity talking to people. I would be particularly interested to see how humor faired through time. And compassion. What was the most compassionate era? The era with the highest degree of humor? That’s the work I am going to apply for. I’m looking forward to 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.
