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?
Fall Arrangement–Red Maple Leaves in my front yard, Charlotte, North Carolina
Getting up and doing what is called for in each situation as it arises–doing what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done–doing the right thing in the right time, in the right place, in the right way–is serving the Tao and exhibiting the way of Jesus. And the Tao was in place before 300 BCE. Leads us to wonder if Jesus had known of the Tao Te Ching. He would certainly have no quarrel with it. “The Spirit is like the wind that blows where it will.” “The love of money is the root of all evil.” “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And others.
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.
