I can't believe I haven't posted since August. I'll try to do better!. Life in Arkport is grand. The seasons are beginning to change. It's still in the seventies in the afternoons, but it's getting colder and colder at night. On Sunday morning it was 38 degrees! It's fabulous.
I've been doing some visiting this week. Coming from a community with no expectations of pastoral visitation to a community with high expectations has been a wake-up for me. I'm getting out there more and more. Our church has begun its planning for the Christmas season -- the Hanging of the Greens is only 10 weeks away! Ack! We gotta get cracking! I'm hoping that Christmas at Arkport UMC is an opportunity to really reach out into the community with a welcoming spirit.
Baby continues to enjoy life in her new family, and we love having her. I generally take her out for her morning constitutional, so i get to face those morning temperatures first-hand. Brrrrr... She's a great dog.
