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?

We know what we want, but what we ought to want? Not so much. We want to do what we want, but not what we ought to want. How are we going to know who we ought to be? Who we are? It takes a lot of looking to be able to see, and a lot of looking to be able to see. And a lot of silence to be able to know what we know and what we need to know. Listening to the silence 20, or 30, minutes a day would not be too much. How many days before things begin to occur to us “out of nowhere?” Before we begin to know things we don’t know how we know? What is stopping us? Seriously. What is stopping us? Get to the bottom of it. Then, get to the bottom of everything. You could even ask Gemini on Google. That isn’t cheating.
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.
