Transitions

I preached my last sermon at Saint James yesterday. It got a little emotional at points, but it went very well. My prayer is that things at Saint James continue along the path they've been on for the past year. It's going to be exciting. Now my energies are focused on packing and getting ready for this week's move to New York.

It's general practice in Arkport for the pastor to use a P.O.Box for mail delivery. The parsonage doesn't even have a mailbox. But, since I need to be there to get a P.O.Box, I don't have one. That means I'm unable to give my new address to folks like my bank, credit card companies, etc... It's a little frustrating. I have now idea how long it will take us to get phone, Internet and cable TV established. Not too long, I hope.

Gotta go, must pack...

Moving Day Approaching

I haven't posted in a while, but I hope to be doing so much more often. I want to start using this blog to keep friends and family up-to-date on what going on in my life.

This week, we're getting ready to move to Arkport, New York, where I've been appointed as Pastor of Arkpoprt United Methodist Church. It's sad to leave Saint James, where I've been for the past eight years, but God is doing something new!

Right now, Kristen and I are adrift in a sea of boxes. We're packing up for this week's move. More details to come, stay tuned...
