Sunning in Survival

Posted on May 27, 2019May 27, 2019 by Richard Newton

In my own self-description, I guess what I'm trying to be is in the moment. And that's pretty new to me. No dawns. Every day just high noon. Sometimes there's a showdown; other times, iced tea. And with each there's a sunset to take a breather and to prepare to count another yesterday.

I googled a recipe for making gumbo, but then I thought about how much time I’ve clocked watching my dad make gumbo—not as much as I would have liked but just enough to know that I could do this and many more hard things. #memories #traditions #tistheseason #gumbo
Coffee? You don’t have to tell me twice. #magneticpoetry #coffee
Psalm 34:8 Beignets, or as the King James says, “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” A cheeky Bible Belt take on a Louisiana favorite.
Calm before the storm? Actually the first day back in the office was pretty cheery! And I am pretty excited about getting back in the classroom. @studyreligion syllabuses and resources are go for launch!
