Currently Listening All I Really Want for Christmas By Steven Curtis Chapman see related

The last entry I made was July 21, one day before we announced to our church in Green Bay that we would be moving on to a new ministry in another state.  Much has happened since then, and I have not had the time or interest to post anything about it publicly.  It was painful and difficult to leave.  Our house in Green Bay still sits on a very slow market and we live in the basement of my in-laws.  While we are thankful that we have a place to live and don't have to pay double housing payments, we long for a place of our own.  I love the new ministry in which I am involved, but life is different in Kansas.   I am a Wisconsin boy and miss (in a way) the very cold temperatures and the Packers losing on TV.  I miss my friends and my family there.  I miss the church in Green Bay and my friend, the Reverend Daniel Dainsberg.  I do not feel like I am home (maybe because I don't have one...he he) in Kansas yet.  It will come and I will feel a sense of pride in my new state (though it is hard to believe now).  That is all for today.  Enjoy the advent season.  Next time I will undoubtedly go on a rant of some sort, while this was a more melancholy entry.  "Rainy days and Mondays."
