It's been more than 4 years since I wrote the first entry and I've often felt that I wanted to write more. So much has happened since that first, feeble attempt. As I think over all the events, I'm a bit overwhelmed so I'll probably just start with today and see where this leads.
One thing that is clear to me is that I have aptly names this blog. The last four years have, indeed, been a journey both spiritual and temporal. Some of the major changes:
- Now there are three granddaughters, Joining Catherine are Caroline and Charlotte.
- I bought a wonderful little house on a small lake.
- I have changed churches - now attending St Michael and All Angels in Cambridge Junction
- I am finishing up a term on Diocesan Council
- I have studied the Old Testament, and New Testament through the Whitaker Institute, finished up a year of Exploring Your Spiritual Journey and will be co-facilitating next year's group with Ross Vandercook.
- I have an amazing Spiritual Director.
- I like to journal.
- I attended the Worldview Seminar this year at U of M Dearborn and was startled to see how wrong I had been about other religious experiences. There are many similarities in devotion of those who are committed to spiritual life.
- I have two Chihuahuas now - Star is still with me and I added Galaxy (Gala, for short). She's an adorable little blond and just bounds through life with joy. I've learned a lot from her.
- Noah lives in Seattle now and is getting married in August to Jana Safstrom. He now works for Schooner Exact Brewing Company.
- Melissa is a veterinary technician working for animal Health Care on MV.
- Joel works for Kimberley-Clark.
- My friend Aubrie is sharing my home on the lake. How wonderful to have someone special to greet in the morning and share our days in the evening!!!
- I appreciate journeys in ways I never anticipated!!!
