Summing Up the Month

Well, last night of the month.  Good to get one more post in.  Plus I feel the need to let my brain out to run around a little.  Blog is a good place to let that happen.

Life is slowly returning to the new normal but a day doesn't go by that I don't think about Dad.  I think I am a slow motion mourner.  I'm not full of grief or sadness and there is plenty of joy in my life.  But there are sad moments and I miss him like crazy even though he was not a part of my day to day life here.

We got up to the Lake on Monday Night/Tuesday.  It was a good day.  We were going to get some work done but in the end we spent most of the day visiting with the Williams and that was really nice.  A good way to heal some.  It was an absolutely beautiful day on the lake.  If you go to my Facebook page, you will see pictures from the sunset that evening.  It was a special time for me as I watched the sun set and thought of Dad.

There is so much I want to get done here.  I am working hard on getting ahead on things for church.  Small group study and upcoming message series as well as all the other details; new members, men's summit, church organization, etc.  Back to trying to get ahead on radio shows as well.  Also trying to get the office and house in general weeded out and better organized.  Need to get my La Romana application out or I won't be going this year.   I have to get back to working on my Spanish and I would like to get going on the Greek course I bought.  When do I do that?  Have quite a stack of books I want to read too.  So many things I want to do and yet not enough time.  Hoping to get back up to the Lake to get a little more work done and get the place closed up.  Will take work with me for after dark.

I would love to get back to the writing I used to do.  Who knows?  It would be fun to get something published.  Feels like a long way from here to there though.

Well, through all that, God is good and I am excited about what I am doing and what He is doing through me.  Lots of opportunities coming up and neat things happening.  My life is one of joy.

That doesn't include the Red Sox.  This year was like the bad old days.  And now Francona is leaving.  Too bad.

Hopefully October will find me back to being much more consistent with the blog and getting lots of things done!
