For the last while we have recuperated at home and done little hospitality.
These last few days we have hosted meals and people for overnight accomodations. Although this has been a bit tiring, the inspiration to the soul is well worth it. An afternoon nap is helpful. Good food and company fills one’s reserves.
So, all in all — bring it on!!
Today was baby dedication at the church.
Now, I’ve always enjoyed this part of ministry. You see potential in a child, and commitment in parents. The congregation is supportive. Friends and relatives have come from miles around. And in the end, I’m sure God blesses and pushes us on to new adventures with the young!!

Ovedid my knees. So, I’ve been on a Tylenol diet for the last few days. As the pain and swelling go down, the mobility and motivation go up.
Funny thing! I was talking to a friend yesterday. Mention was made that we "professionals" who deal with those with grief and pain are human. We go through the same stages. We get angry, and go into denial and get depressed. We know better but somehow don’t always "do better."
There is none righteous, no not one! I think God is not so much worried about our failings (He’s got a plan for that), as he is that we "go after Him". Can’t say I’m always there, but my spirit pushes me there!!
In returning to work, I’m thankful for all those who have taken up extra responsibility. This weekend a full concert is planned, along with a Sunday Service with Tim Milner. You can find his website at www.timmilner.com. Saturday starts at 7:00 pm with a $5.00 admission. If you are in the area, feel free to drop in!! And thanks to those who set up the concert and got things on the way!!
