“The power went out. They are after us.” And then I looked at the clock. It was still lit and kept on moving. Even more concern. The very fact that I still had time with out power was a concern in the dream. I awoke and the only light in my room was on my clock.
I lay there and contemplated the reality of the dream. What it could mean? Continue reading Walking In The Geography Of The Kingdom
A lot of folks have asked how we are doing with all the changes, so I am giving you a general update.
So what is life looking like overall?
New Place To Live
Our new apartment is great! A shade smaller, but much more homey. The family loves it. So much quieter. So much healthier. It looks like Christmas. Nice yard area. Yep!
Ministry
Ministry is shifting for both of us. Tina is leading a women’s group they have called Embrace Your Call. She continues to deal with the more “difficult” ministry of game night. I am working more with the prophetic side of life at the Village.
Family
Our grandchildren are doing well. Many really good things are going on. My three oldest grandchildren are here nearly every weekend and so I get to hang out a lot with them. I see Naomi at least once a week. Hannah a couple of times a month. The newest baby is a few months away. Keep watching!
I am excited that I see most of my children a couple of times a month.
My Wife’s Job Loss
A few weeks ago my wife was laid off from her job. After many years of being a loyal employee the loyalty was “repaid” by keeping the new employee. (Just this past week a friend of mine lost his job of 27 years.)
Someone asked me what it is like to have her home. Well, in some respects it is like we are on vacation without the vacation.
People often make plans but when we project answers we get in trouble. Here we thought, “we move, I get a job, life is good!”
So, we are continuing to find our walk together while we are in the same house.
A lot of her day is devoted to finding work. That means she needs our computer. Which means we have to work out a schedule that is feasible to both of us.
We are both seeking work.
So that is the long and short of it. Life is exciting. We are readying for the holidays and Christmas is in view. Looking forward to friends, family and food!
We appreciate you!
It is nearly Thanksgiving…Usually one of the first shots at “family”. (Sometimes in more ways than one!) I want to be clear, as I “unpack” something. My childhood table did not always happen well. We had drunkenness, fights and even blood…So hear my heart. Jesus can “grow” you up.
Hospitality
I love people. It doesn’t matter whether they are friends, family or foes. I really do. (I drive my wife crazy sometimes. I am sure she can tell you how many hundreds have set at our table, slept in our beds, on our couches and more over 20 years. This year will be no different. And it probably is one of the major reasons I bemoan the loss of our home through no fault of ours. NO ROOM!) Continue reading Hospitality – Honor – Home – How Do you Rate?
I have often considered the subject of honor to be important. So many forget that honor is love expressed. To create honor, one must begin in their home and their family. Let me know your thoughts on this. I love here from folks.
