Packing House is Tedious and Time Consuming

Maybe it is more than that...

Each day is a step closer to huge changes - changes that involve separation from my dear husband for at least half of each month as I move our home to Idaho and he continues to work in the Gulf of Mexico and commute home whenever he can. We are both feeling it, and we comfort ourselves by saying we've done this before and we can do it again, and maybe he can find a job as a helicopter pilot closer to our new home. But not only are we married, but we are best friends, and we share a strong faith in Christ and a common purpose in life. We can do this, even if it involves sacrifice on both our parts for now.

Then there's the church we've been attending. We've made some wonderful friends here, and it will be sad to leave them behind. Of course, nothing compares to returning to our beloved family in the PacNorwest. Still we will miss our friends. Some have said they needed an excuse to visit the Northwest, so we may get visitors. Several have said that when I come down here to spend a week or two with Mike, we must stay with them, so that will help keep the connections alive.

Honestly, I find the changes we are going through to be so complex that I am having trouble putting it into words. Hence my lack of blog posts lately. I find that I do a lot of reflecting on the recent past - kind of evaluating things - and a lot of planning for the near and far future. That requires silence: when I am fortunate enough to have it.

So, if I'm quiet and don't get around on MindSay much, that's why. You are still in my prayers and on my mind, and my email is still cathian@cathian.org if anyone wishes to write to me. I'll just probably be more and more scarce until after November 1.

love,

Rev
