Ups and Downs
Sunday, December 21, 2003
This has been a week filled with ups and downs for me. The good news is that the “up” part of the week was nothing short of spectacular.
The down side is the battle I face with a chronic condition similar to rheumatoid arthritis knocked me down for a few days and has slowed my work considerably. Right now though I’m feeling a good bit better and ready to get back on the horse and do what needs to get done.
This weekend I had to make a short trip back to Columbia, South Carolina to visit my grandmother, who is in failing health, and grandfather. Prayers and good thoughts for them both are appreciated.
Those were the two down parts of my week.
Now for the spectacular part: Liz and I found out that we are pregnant a few weeks ago. Now we know we’re having twins. If all goes well the little ones should be ready to make their first public appearance around the end of July. Nothing could be better than that!
We're both back in Portland on Christmas Day. This coming Sunday I'll be preaching at Portland's First Congregational United Church of Christ, downtown on the corner of SW Park and Madison, at 10:25 am. Come if you like!
