A Return to Discipline

My goodness!  How time flies and here it is another year is about to pass.  I have been away from the blog world for nearly 2 years!  The community center, that was the focus of several posts, has been finished and is in operation and serving the people of Jefferson City and God in great abundance.  And my life is completely changed from the posts I reread today.

Mark was appointed to a new church in July and we moved 150 miles "back" toward home to step into new roles and new life.  Zach is a freshman in college and Sarah has been moved 1/2 way through her high school education and is a junior now.  I am working as a chaplain at a retirement home that is home to 300 of the "greatest generation" and those that closely followed them.  EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.  Identity, routine, jobs, parenting, income, community, friends and neighbors.

So, I find a calling to return to the discipline of writing, don't have any agenda, or any clear topics, but I have learned that to be a well read writer it takes the discipline of writing on a regular basis and that is my hope and desire.

Here's to new beginnings, beginning again and the grace to do it!
