  • Our Meeting Place

    When last we met along the way,
    The two of us, or sometimes more,
    Knit close together by the moment,
    Touching.
    Close together by what's common,
    Bonding.
    Close together by what's different,
    Shaping.

    We came away so subtly changed,
    I can't explain, I'm somehow more,
    A growing more inside my thinking,
    Shaped.
    Growing more inside my feeling,
    Bonded.
    Growing more inside my being,
    Touched.

    Loving God with all my heart.
    And loving you, my neighbor too.
    I specially meet to think of Him,
    Glorify.
    Specially meet to think of you,
    Satisfy.
    Specially meet to think of life,
    and record the minutes
    from our last meeting.

Change II

Today Sherry and Rebecca are in the den cutting out fabric for a maternity dress. Yes, the little girl who was not married the last time I posted is now married and expecting.

The den where they are working is in our new house. Yes, we have moved since the wedding. Downsized, by half. Boxes abound, both here and in the storage units that serve as a halfway house for some of our belongings. The new yard takes 2.5 times longer to mow than the old one.

The old house is still on the market. One offer and counteroffer, then another counteroffer. The deal died. Then they counteroffered again. A signed contract. They backed out. We’ll see who the Lord sends next, perhaps from the open house tomorrow.

Big progress on Kim’s wedding plans. Aug. 29 approaches quickly!

Son Paul and wife Liz (also expecting) are scheduled to close on a house on our side of town at the end of July.

Son Terence and wife Becky (also expecting) hope to reposition themselves in the nearer (and cheaper) side of the Metroplex when their lease is up later this year.

That’s it. All that’s happened in two months. I might have posted more often, but the Internet lived at our old house for two weeks before we got it all moved here. Or maybe that’s just an excuse.

Thanks for your prayers, by which God is encountered and glorified and we are encouraged.
