Wow...a lot has happened in my life since my last posting. As you may have guessed, I am blog-challenged when it comes to a weekly blog. However, I'll do my best to keep it up; especially over the event filled Christmas season.
As I write this, my wife could be having a baby...not quite, but the day is fast approaching. She will find out tomorrow just how close we are - I may have some news for you in next weeks blog. I am sure excited about another addition to the family...but I can feel my hair greying as I type.
Well, we finally moved into our new home - 2 days before Halloween. It is exciting and helpful for us to think that we now have a place to call our own. It seems like a perfect fit for us and we have all kinds of plans and dreams for what it could be in the future. Of course, moving is always (at least to me) stressful...but I have to give a BIG shout out of thanks to many in my church who helped move us out of the old parsonage and into our new home. Without their 'many hands' it would have been a much more trying experience. But not only did they help us move - many others also helped us clean out the old home and set up the new. A great group of people they are for sure!
I also want to thank the church for having the vision to sell the parsonage and allow us to buy our own place. This will give us a running head start for the future years - but it also frees them up from the need to keep up an aging parsonage.
But, as many of you would know, now that we own our home, the bills are flying in...a reality of life.
Christmas...Are you ready for it? I haven't been in the 'mood' yet, but I did catch myself singing some carols the other day. The church is looking very festive (thanks Linda), as is our home (thanks April) - so that is helping to speed up the process. However, Christmas isn't about the mood, or a tree or even 3 French hens...but more on that next week.
As Christmas approaches, I want to be able to enjoy the season - even though life's busy (I did two family weddings this past weekend) with lots of Christmas events / a baby arriving and who knows what else. I'll be pondering how to do just that in the coming weeks...stay tuned.
If you check back next week, I'll be considering the thought - "Dad, where's Christmas?"
Have a great week!
