As my life is highly chaotic now, I’m not going to be posting a lot. I have a house to pack up, an ordination to help with, moving vans to arrange… As I’m feeling frenzied right now, I thought I’d list the good things that have happed to me and in the world lately as a reminder that there is good in everything.<\/p>\n

In My Life<\/b><\/p>\n

  • Adopting Freya and Edda (especially since I now have new office “help” to relieve Finian when he has “appointments” :))<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Spending Thanksgiving with a family from my church and getting to experience for the second time what Thanksgiving is like to those who actually live close to their extended families<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Jon getting the call to serve two churches in Madison, Minnesota. (If you want to be on THE LIST of people who get my new RL contact info, email me.)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Getting to sing in the community Lessons and Carols service in a week<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • My parents and brother making plans (along with Jon’s parents) to come to the ordination<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • My brother Sean agreeing to stay on to help us move<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • My father-in-law’s mechanic finding a spare lens for our headlight (that got shattered when some idiot blew a stop sign and hit us a few weeks ago and then convinced us that the damage wasn’t enough to file a claim) and offering to ship it to us so that I could install it and pass my license test (God willing)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Getting to see my extended family at Christmas<\/li>\n

    In the world<\/b><\/p>\n

  • Community Thanksgiving services (like the one I attended on Wednesday night)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Bush’s surprise visit to the troops (yes… I praised something Dubya did — you may commence picking your jaws up off the floor)<\/strike> this has been struck out because the trukey is plastic and he brought photographers<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • UW beat WSU last weekend<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Advent starting this Sunday<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • God is in control<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
