Off He Goes!

Summertime is when the camp meetings start, business is conducted and people get ordained. This year one of our own was ordained to elder. He's a likeable guy who came onto the scene several years ago and has availed himself to be used in many situations. With no religious background he enrolled in one of our colleges on line programs and received his masters. Good job Daniel! Now he is off to seek his fortune as pastor of a church in Grand Rapids. We wish him the best.

Back again

I thought it might be fortuitous to do another blog, just for the heck of it. My daughter now blogs her adventures as a military wife in Germany, so dad better get on the stick.
Since my last blog my father passed away. That' something I don't want to go through again. It's not just the pain of the loss, but the pressure that comes from being the eldest. It's not that I have to make all the decisions, its that I have to watch other siblings to make sure their decisions are in the best interest of Mom. It is easy to think you're doing good, but in actuality you are telling a person that they don't know what's best for themselves, or you make them feel stupid. Then you get other family members who decide that it's my job to police the whole event, i.e. the after the death thing. I'm not into that, but I do keep an eye on what's going on.
