How about we settle for what’s what here and now? How about we let this be it? No more striving, wanting, having to have this or that or that over there? Just letting this be it? How about we just let this be it?

At 2:00 O’clock this afternoon, I had two cups of coffee and two premium desserts at Charlotte’s premiere restaurant for desserts. Now, if that is not having it made, I would like to know what is! And most of us who are reading this are as close to having it made as I am. How are we going to top two premium desserts and two premium coffees? And if we do top it, how are we going to top having topped it? Let’s just let this be it. Settle down. Adjust ourselves to our lot in life and get on with enjoying what is to be enjoyed every day that remains in the time left for living? I’m doing it and I am calling you to join me in doing it–unless you have something better to do.

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.
