Last week we wrapped up the residual affairs with RUF and began discussing our next adventure. Throughout the week I continued to field phone calls and emails from friends and associates. Wednesday evening I met with the elders of our church to discuss a ministry proposal. Thursday we had another snow storm, so more hours… Continue reading February 21, 2021 — An End and a Beginning

We didn't get snow every day last week. But we did have more snow to shovel thoughout the week, and temperatures in the 20s which meant it didn't melt. The week was also puctuated by discussions on our transition from RUF to something else. I think that will be all wrapped up by tomorrow.

Most in our area resume this week, but some not until February. I try not to visit campus ministers in the first two weeks of a semester as… Continue reading January 17, 2021 — In the Office

Christmas is over, Epiphany is past, and we're back to work. My calendar indicates we took our annual post-Christmas vacation last week. We decided it was ill-advised to travel anywhere, and instead planned to spend the week cleaning out Ruth's mother's house next door. This was a partial success, interrupted by our own chores and… Continue reading January 10, 2021 — Back to Work in Bethlehem
