The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wrote this three weeks ago but never posted it! Our church family is now aware that we are leaving the area. Originally we had thought that we wouldn’t disclose to our church family that we are planning on leaving until January 2022. However, it became clear that we should...

Timing is Everything.

Our plans for selling the house and hitting the road (aka Moon River) are briskly moving forward. It’s hard to believe that we are really doing this! Dale and I had a good discussion this morning about the best timing for alerting our church family of our plans. We want...
