new beginnings




Last night we spent some good time with good friends. Darin and Autumn are easy like Sunday morning. We laughed and ate and listened to Darin and my wife interact in seminarian dialect. It was good.
Darin and Autumn(like us) are possibly moving soon to begin full-time ministry in a church.
So I decided I would call attention to this great moment. I proposed a toast with our good friends, a toast to New Beginnings. We didn't have glasses. Instead, we raised our ice cream bowls. They laughed at me, but humored my need to encapsulate the evening.

I enjoy good conversation with good friends. I enjoy a good laugh, even at myself. I enjoy a good meal with good ice cream to follow. I enjoy watching others enjoy the moment. I enjoy transparency. I enjoy my wife's ability to knock me off any kind of platform I think I need to get on.
I enjoy sharing life and living in the context of community. I enjoy this.

So I toast to New Beginnings...whatever that means for you.
