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?

You wouldn’t watch a movie about my life. I have barely been able to live it. I don’t know why it is still going. I will enter my 83rd year in January and I do not see my entertainment value improving with age. Old age is not built for monologue. One day is much like the last one. My best one-liners were used up years ago. Where do I go for fresh material? Observation and evaluation have been redundant for years. Reflection is now reexamination. Even new books are repeating themselves. Another book on George Washington? And World War I? But here’s a new one for you: Looking out the window has not lost it’s appeal! It is as fresh and welcome as ever! I look forward to it each day.
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.
