Well, the summer heat has arrived and the last time I posted on this blog my ice scraper was still on duty in my car. The 4Q was much kinder than the 3Q and I have been able to salvage my sanity and finish the year. I recently returned from the ordination service (transitional diaconate) of my close friends...very exciting! After a rather busy month, I now turn my energy toward my Clinical Pastoral Education at a continuing care retirement community. I am looking forward to experiencing pastoral education at a sight with folks that have the wisdom of many years. Older folks tend to be quite honest in their feedback of how things are going...and I'm looking forward to an enriching experience with so many folks who have lived very interesting lives.
I will try to improve my efforts of keeping this blog up to date and full of my CPE learings, as I think there will be many opportunities for me to improve my pastoral skills.
