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?

My father reacted to me and I reacted to my father and we both could have done a lot better. And we both need to acknowledge that about ourselves to each other and simply allow that truth to be a part of our individual makeup, and let it go.
And this is so with way too many of us around the world throughout time. All for whom this is so, need to take ourselves to a cosmic wailing wall and say our say and make our peace with ourselves and those we need to make our peace with, and let that be that, as the old Taoists might say. And let it go.
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.
