The Blue Ridge Parkway (At about 11:00, with a watch face on the photograph)

I am not going to care about things that are not worth caring about in the time left for living. I will leave all of those things for someone else to care about. And I recommend this as a life posture for everyone. Care about the things that are worth caring about and let the rest go. That is the way Blue Whales do it. And they get by just fine with that as a way of life. Be the Whale.

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.
