Ministry and Parenting: So Much for Plans

So Much for Plans

I came in this morning, determined to do some writing. Then the visitors started. When one man came in, he said, "I'm the next one through the revolving door." So while I haven't gotten the writing done I had planned, I've had some wonderful conversations. I've dealt with some administrative matters-- both for the church and my own personal stuff.

I've had a conversation with Daughter's Case Manager about Daughter's desire to change her day program to a sheltered workshop. I've visited with my favorite 3 year old. I'm grateful that this last week before vacation is flexible enough that I can enjoy these interruptions and the opportunities they bring.

Have I mentioned recently how much I love my life?

Important People and Places

Daughter became my foster child in 1990, shortly before she turned 3, and I adopted her when she was 8.

Capital is a state capital in the midwest. In October of 2010 I became pastor of a church on the edge of town.

Administrative Assistant is my keeper. She runs the office at the church, and at heart is an artist. She helps turn my crazy ideas into reality.

Program is where Daughter spends most of her days. She does some piece work and participates in some classes and activities. She'd like to get community employment, but still has some work to do to make that possible.

Sister Best Friend and I met in seminary. We vacationed together for a number of years, and then she got married. We still do some cooperative worship planning. She seves a church less than an hour away.

Far Away Sister is 4.5 years young than me. She lives across the country. She was an electrical engineer until she stayed home to raise Tall Niece and Nephew. Now that they are graduating, she is planning to become a high school math teacher.

Sister is 10 years young than me. She is divorced and the mother of Short Niece. She lives in the same state as Capital. She is a teacher.

Brother is 11 1/2 years younger than I am. He finally got married in February of 2009. He lives near Sister. They are the parents of Baby Nephew.
