Helping others move on

What a busy last few days! On Wednesday and Thursday I was busy at the office trying to get things ready for Sunday (today). It is very stressful having to prepare the right message for the church when I know I am leaving it soon. It is so amazing that we started our series in the book of Romans last year, and just now we are in the 14th chapter dealing with what to do when Christians disagree. Most everyone has really appreciated the messages and has commented that they feel like this is something the church has needed for a long time--But God's timing is perfect, and this Sunday was the right Sunday to give this message.

On Thursday night we headed out to Del Norte (Eastern Colorado) to help Karen's parents get ready to move on. (Before I left on Thursday to pick up Karen, I had to make sure the house was ready to show by realtors!) Karen's folks are moving back to California to live by her brothers. Her dad had been working on building a house with her brother Craig before he died. Now they are selling the unfinished house--On Friday, we helped move some building supplies from their rental house into the unfinished house. And we will go back on Sept. 23 to help pack up their stuff and load it into the U-Haul truck--Karen's brothers are flying out to help load and drive the trucks. So Karen's folks are movin' on, too. When our turn will be, we don't know yet.
