I am not thinking about a sermon. I am not thinking about the Sunday routine. I am not thinking about the hurried Sunday juggling act. I am officially in between jobs. This explains the leisurely Saturday...
I completed my service at Cashiers UMC. I packed and cleared out my office. I preached my final sermon and said my goodbyes. I exited following five final days on a youth mission trip (the best one yet!). Now I am experiencing summer days that sort of reflect those of younger years--less responsibility, less structure.
Yet of course, I am making necessary arrangements for our August departure to England; although, doing so with an out-of-the-ordinary amount of time. Fortunately, we now have three passports with three valid entry Visas. (This is a relief!) We are sorting, packing, selling, and moving the things of our household. We are car-shopping and nursery school-shopping at a distance. We are learning about Thatcham, our soon-to-be home, and the surrounding area, and we are getting excited.
All the while, I am reveling in the summer days! And I am happy that it is the day before Sunday!!
