This is my first blog entry since October 13, 2009. Since that time we have sold two-thirds of our farm, built our new retirement home (a most peaceful and beautiful place, I might add) with the help of our nephew Jason and his two co-workers, Kevin and Andrew, and Ken has built his shop/garage to house his two tractors, his truck, the crawler tractor, our boat, and his workshop. He did most of that work by himself. We have two lovely ponds behind out new house, and lots of wild life that come to the ponds in the evening and early morning.
I have also returned as a one-third time pastor to West Danville United Methodist Church. It is good to be back home among the folks I had served with and grown to love deeply in the 12 years I was appointed there before retiring in 2006.
One of my main reasons for reactivating this blog is for our extended church family. I would like to post my "Reflections" (my word for sermons) from time to time so they and other folks can access them through our church website at WestDanvilleumv.org. Curtis Larrabee has done a great job in getting a website up and going and we share the opinion that blogging "Reflections" could add to that site and to the cohesiveness of the congregation. So, I look forward to doing that. I may start with some past tense Advent Reflections, or some Epiphany season Reflections - and then try to stay as current as possible. Of course, I am still trying to sort through boxes of "stuff" we had to move out of the farmhouse. This includes organizing my office/library - HUGE job!
Wish me well - I will need it! Anyone want some books?
Shalom,
Carol
