Family

August 20, 2010 Barbara

I can not believe that I haven’t been here since 2008. Amazing how time flies! I was only prompted to visit this time because I received an email comment that was spam and wanted to make sure it didn’t get posted on the blog.

So, an update on me and mine:

Dad passed away in May of this year. His wife is hanging in there at 89. My daughter is attending college out of state and that car we bought from Dad when the dementia proved too much for him to be driving safely is dead in Dad’s driveway. My youngest son graduated from high school and will attend a junior college for a year until he figures out his career choice.

Mark and I are doing well. I changed jobs this month to work closer to home and I love it.

We joined the Eastern Orthodox Christian church in January of 2009. I thought that the routine liturgy would become stale but it hasn’t. Something about it is so Holy! It feels like we are participating in something that God would actually attend. The sanctuary (called the Nave) is holy and sacred. What a change from the Vineyard where nothing was holy.

So, I’ll close for now. I’ll try to get back sooner than nearly 2 years this time. I still can’t believe its been that long!
