Back to the drawing board

Well, keeping up with a keen Bible study hasn't been as easy as I expected. Perhaps I need to do less ministry so I can blog more? I don't suppose that would work. At any rate, there are all kinds of transitions going on right now, so I feel like I'm in a vortex of change. Our current musician is leaving at the end of the month for Texas, and the search committee is wading through the pile of resumes in an attempt to gather some candidates for interviews. Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of my father's death, a transition that just seems to keep on changing and surprising me. At the beginning of the month I took a week to help my sister with her 3 week old baby boy, Thomas. Next month we'll be off to the National Youth gathering in New Orleans and later this summer I'll be visiting the Church Wide Assembly in the Twin Cities. This Spring in Phoenix, AZ I became a board member of LERN (Lutheran Ecumenical Representatives Network) and am getting excited about planning various ecumenical activities throughout this year. There are schedules, policies and actions to plan for confirmation, high school youth, young leaders forum, young adults group, WPI and more! Whoever said the summer was slow wasn't paying attention!
