Greetings

I am sooo happy that others are using the blog! I love it when I'm not talking to myself (although on occasion I've been known to have whole conversations with myself!)

Elizabeth - paying gig or not ~~ it sounds as if you too are VERY busy.

Tim - I don't have the details on Denita's ordination, but I'll call her later today and report back.

This is week 3 at hospice and I'm absolutely loving it - I did a funeral my 2nd week for a woman I had visited my 1st week. So I've really hit the ground running, but that's ok too.

Ruth and I went back to Wisc a couple of week-ends ago for Jill's installation at her Clintonville church, I was amazed at the difference just a couple of weeks made, on our way there the leaves had already begun to change colors and it was just beautiful. We went there and back in one day so on the return trip it was too dark to enjoy the scenery! Maiko - the buffalo herd was still there, I almost stopped to take a picture for you.

The new job doesn't allow me to take time to visit Tim, I did send him a letter a few days ago so far there is no news to report. I'm thinking he should have a date set for the beginning of his trial, I'll share the news when I get it so that we can be in prayer on that date. I'm still feeling very conflicted about the whole thing but I'm confident that prayers are answered and I'm relying on God's will regardless of my personal inner conflicts...

I spoke with John G a few weeks back and he's loving his little urban church in Ohio and it's clear that he is exactly where God wants him to be.

Wishing you all God's peace.

hugs and prayers,
Brenda
