I love to meet

When I started the day, I was in the midst of figuring out what my day would include.  I had a meal planned in the evening and a haircut mid-afternoon. 

A staff meeting soon stretched into an encouraging time – my associate pastor is off for a week or two of holidays.  He’ll be resting – and visiting.  His family will see him for an extended period of time.  That’s good.

At lunch, a young lady came by seeking a place to eat lunch.  I invited her to join me.  We sat and discussed (OK, I asked lots of questions and she was kind enough to answer.

Prior to that, I had been by the lawyer’s to check out Jill’s estate and the transfer of the house into my name.  There, I also extended my time to talk of registering a publishing company.  More on that in coming blogs.

At the hair cut time, I talked to the hair dresser (of course, I haven’t got much hair to dress, but it’s a great idea that someone would be willing to dress what is there).  We spoke of a broad range of issues.  FUN!!

Home in time to see my boarder and invite her to supper on Thursday.

Then, a friend arrived for supper and we enjoyed my first full meal that I had prepared for a guest.  Actually worked well!  I am thankful for the time I spent with my wife – by osmosis I pick up a lot of tips on hosting and having a meal that would be enjoyable.

Now?  Reading, writing and enjoying podcasts.  A rather enjoyable life.  May God continue to put people and events into my life that remind me of the great hope that there is in Jesus, and the great enjoyment there is in his creation – particularly the humans who live around me!
