Quick update

Whew! I haven't posted for a few weeks now, but really, I have a good excuse. Or several, to make up the difference in time between now and when I last posted. Okay, it's just one -- I've been really busy. Doing what? you might ask. Well, let me fill you in quickly on the big things.

We spent about a week and a half down in Virginia and North Carolina. We spent a few days with my parents on the farm. Next stop was my cousin Howard's church in Holly Ridge, NC. I preached there on a Wednesday night. We went from there to Pastor Gibbs' church, Bible Baptist, in Burgaw, NC. As a reference point, it's about 25 miles from Wilmington. While there, I did all sorts of new and unusual things. We went back north by way of my parent's house again.

Upon arrival, I've just been swamped with all the stuff that piled up while we were gone. I'll have to make several posts, probably over the next couple of days, to get caught up.

In the meantime, my dad had surgery, but seems to have come through it fine and be recovering at least as well as expected.

And my wife (whose blog I will someday remember to link to), Joy, has been accepted as a columnist with a new Christian magazine called Haruah. Oh, and we went to Broadway, and I'm working through a novel, and we're moving the third week of June, and.... Ah, well, I'll have to break all this up.
