Pondering the future

No new pictures this week. That's probably because the last week allowed little time for pictures and this weekend was largely spent running errands. Last night, my outgoing battalion commander had the primary staff to his house for dinner. We enjoyed ourselves. Isaac thought it was great. He played in the sprinkler and got in the way of "yard ball." Emily is currently on the internet looking for "yard ball" or "ladder ball."

Today, we went to church. I had my weekly period of missing being a pastor. I actually have that thought more than weekly. Em & I are a few months from needing to know if God wants us to stay in our current ministry or go back to serving in the local church. As we pray about it, neither of us really feels a strong push either direction. Perhaps this is one of those places where God's will is broad. There are days when I truly enjoy the opportunity to share with soldiers and discuss faith with soldiers whom I probably would not meet as a pastor. I do love the ministry as a chaplain. There are just some things that infuriate me beyond what I ever experienced as a pastor or youth pastor. I don't think this is the format to get into those specifics.

Emily is looking forward to this week. Friday was her last day of school, so she's got her to-do list to work on this week. She's a little behind on her reading for vacation next month. We're planning to go to NYC for a week, and she wants to read a little about the city's history.
