Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but it has been a pretty busy week or two. Once Julia and Henry David and I returned from Winnipeg, we had a night to ourselves, then my mother and niece arrived from Elkhart, Indiana to stay for a few days. And the next day Julia's sister and her daughter flew in from Vancouver for a long visit. Then I had the Prairie Star District Executive Board meeting to attend. (Photos here. It was a good meeting...we discussed plans for next August's Board/Program Council Retreat). In addition to all of this, I got a call from Rockford, Illinois from a family I had officiated a wedding for when I was the ministerial intern there (photos here). The father of the family had died, and they wanted me to do the memorial service. Thing is, of all the weddings I've performed, this man was the only father-of-the-bride that I remember (he was a big guy, literally and figuratively). So I said yes, which meant flying down to Rockford on Monday, meeting with the family, going to a hotel and putting together a service (including a eulogy), then leading the service the next day. Very busy, indeed. To top it all off, Henry David's been sick since last Friday (he's just getting better today). So. Busy, busy, busy. I'm looking forward to catching up on work at the office and getting ready for GA, which is just a couple of weeks away!Comments
