Leap, taken

So, he took the job. He resigned yesterday from the school he's been at for fifteen years - a really big step, emotionally and practically. He took the middle school job here. He alternates between excited and terrified, happy and sad - but a normal level of all, I'd say.

It's real now. We really live here, and he really works here. We cut the final ties to Old City (besides the ties to family, which definitely and happily remain).

Big day. Scary day. Exciting day. Thanks for the prayers.

Now, back to a sermon on Romans 12:1-8, which has somehow, mysteriously turned into a rumination on how hard it actually is to be transformed. How could THAT theme have come about?

been away and just catching up with your whirlwind of a week. Whew. I hope the peace has come with the courage.

And I'm so glad you can be together this year.
