We are once again home-owners

signed the papers at 5:15 pm today.  Now the exodus begins.  i think my emotion right now is sober. today's closing was overshadowed by Leslie's death. I can't believe she's passed on.

sobered also by the fact that we are long term in on this Nashville gig. We commiting to stay in town for a long time, God willing. Decisions to leave for another ministry or organization will be much more difficult this evening than they were this morning. But with God all things are possible.

As a point of emphasis, this is not to say I have a desire to move. I'm quite happy where I am but I don't want to miss God if he calls us somewhere else.

I just am really hurting for Clint right now.  there is no lightness in my step, no glee for the move. i'm just really angry that God took Leslie. Her son just graduated from High School. Clint and Leslie had their best years ahead of them and there is very little consolation when i think of the situation. Just depresses me terribly.

Lord, Your ways are not my ways, but I have to trust in the fact that Your ways are higher.

"You give and take away. Lord, blessed be Your Name."
