we made it back

We have made it back to reality in Esdaile...it was an awesome adventure. Holden was pounded with snow and we had an awesome time with the Ruen's. Love those guys!

I had a wonderful time praying, reading, hanging out and worshipping. I read The Evangelizing Church. I took 19 pages of notes on the book and really appreciated it from the perspective of a theologian and recent seminary graduate. I am really thinking through how this will translate into parish life, but I got really excited reading it and I appreciate a lot that was said in the book. Dr. J Paul Rajashekar from Philly is awesome! So, if anyone wants to start a study over blogger, etc...and talk through a chapter a week or so let me know. I think there was some talk about that at convo.

The placement of seniors happened on Tuesday. I remember that time last year. That was one heck of a year with tons of stress, eh? I don't want to go back there for anything.

I have left some black streaks on the road after arriving home. With newsletter, bulletin, sermon, ash wednesday and lent on the horizon (plus a friends funeral) this week will be a blur. I would covet your prayers. Blessings to each of you on your preparation in any way for Lent. Paz
