Happy Thanksgiving


Sorry I have not written in a while. Things have been pretty busy up here in New England. Things are a bit odd though. Last week it was so warm that my windows were up and I was wearing shorts. Last night, it got cold enough that I pulled out a winter coat. I know. I can't stand coats. Today I made up for it and wore my Chowan College sweatshirt to work.
Well, as many of you know, I am not coming home for Thanksgiving. I have to wait until Christmas but that is ok. Several families in the church have invited me over to celebrate Thanksgiving with them and I will be headed to Maine in the morning to do just that with one family in particular. Thanksgiving in Maine. I am looking forward to it.
Guess what I am doing on Sunday? I am preaching for my second time at the church. I am excited about it and at the same time, a bit overwhelmed. Lots of stuff going on in the middle of everything. I am preaching from Revelation and am a bit nervous but I know it will come out fine. (pray pray pray)
I was a part of my first funeral up here last week and we have another one next week. Things went well I think. Not much different from here to the south in regards to this particular funeral. We will see what happens next week. Charley is really good about giving me opportunities to grow in my ministry and work on new pieces.
I hope you all (that is my trademark up here - they all laugh at me) have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Please send me pictures so I can see what you all did. I miss everyone so much, especially right now. So send those pix!!!
