Maintaining our presence in the here, now is being aware of what’s what and what is called for by maintaining our balance and inner harmony throughout our present experience with the clashing rocks and heaving waves on the wine dark sea of our daily life in a “What’s new, we have seen it all before,” kind of way. Really–what can life throw at us that we haven’t seen multiple times before? We experienced our first rodeo years ago! And we are well into our “Here we go again phase of life,” so what’s the problem. We pick ourselves up and go again. And again. And again… Throughout the rest of the way!

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.
