WELL WELL WELL

WELL............IT'S BEEN AWHILE

Since I blogged. Lately it just doesn't seem too worthwhile a venture. Not that I don't appreciate my vast audience. I love you deeply, all four of you.
Have since you three were born, and Deb, since before we married...
But, it got to a point where I seemed to be offending some folks, not meaning to at all, and I realised the responsibility one has when expressing one's thoughts publicly.

That said, I'm ready to try it again.

WE'LL BE HEADING OUT TO SUNNY FLORIDA IN 8 DAYS...

Are we ready? Well...we've had close to a hundred inches of snow so far.
Not that it's an unusual amount. It's totally normal for this place. We may be a little ahead of the snow game, but 125 inches a year is what we get. So, that said, we won't be missing too much winter...we've had it already!

The place we're going is in the 60s and 70s already. And, being Florida, sunny Florida, we will be expecting, well, sun. Have not really seen a ton of that lately.
On the down side, we love our new church. Did I say that was a down side? Sounds strange, I know, but for the first time in at least a couple of years, we're connected again. Not musically...I'm not singing up front...but in the best sense of connected. We want to be there...the worship, as I've gushed before, is a blast. Steve is leading with the same fervor he showed early Eastern Hills...it all seems fresh again. When Sue joins him, or when the 5 ladies quintet sings, the place really rocks.
Mick nails me every Sunday. Every one. Awesome.
Awana is perfect. Kids are responding, timing is smooth, peeps are loving the work.
The Y class is full every week...that's a wow. Great people.

I love it all. Will miss it all. Yet....

Mike, her brother, sent us a picture of the site we'll be on for the next couple months..green trees, blue skies, two pools, warmth...sunshine...

Gotta go.

Jessica melted my heart, once again, when she demanded I blog when we're gone.
I don't have a ton of folks who care about that, but the ones I have that do care are worth a ton of gold.

YA KNOW WHO YA ARE!!

And, I love ya.

YOU GET THE POINT!!!

Welcome back! Yes, we need lots of sunny pictures here as well. Maybe we will even be able to visit you while you are there. That would be great. Love you!
