Catching up

It has been some time since I've posted to this particular blog.  There are any number of reasons, but suffice it to say, the work continues to grow and need additional care.  This past week, my family and I left for our annual vacation.  This year found us in Disney World in Florida.  During the week, I had to leave the family to travel to a Leadership Summit in Akron, Ohio, a trip that took me four days. 

We drove to Orlando and arrived on Saturday, then I flew out on Sunday morning for the beginning of the conference on Monday.  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday found me at Grace Church at the Bath Campus (really, the name of the little town is Bath) with me flying back to Orlando on Wednesday, and due to Delta Airlines missing their schedule, I was really late getting in Wednesday night.  The vacation resumed on Thursday, and we left Florida on Saturday, returning home on Sunday.  Needless to say, it really wasn't much of a vacation for me, but it was for my family and I am happy they had such a good time.

Now, back in the saddle, we are returning phone calls, continuing Administrative work with District Pastoral meetings beginning next week. Please note that Facebook seems to be an especially quick way to disseminate information, so I hope you will check there if you don't receive a call as quickly as you would like.  Combing through 700+ emails can take a little while, and listening to all of the voice mails is no picnic.

Thanks for your understanding.  God bless.
