Today it was announced that I will be appointed to serve as a Transitional Intentional Interim serving North Liberty First United Methodist Church in North Liberty, Iowa, effective July 1, 2025. It means a lot to be able to return back to Iowa. This allows me to be closer to my family. 🙌

Anticipation... and wonder. The appearance of these slender stalks make me smile - not just because of the anticipated arrival of spring. But also because of the resilience of the bulbs from which they come.

Wisdom from @bishopkencarter.bsky.social If this is all disturbing to you, I invite you to stay engaged... Take consistent and simple steps. Avoid doomscrolling to the degree that you can. It only feeds into the desired response—the cruelty is the point.

Slept in, great cuppa tea, a couple of hours working on church website and socials, Disaster Response this'n that... About to read 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' as I ponder these quotes from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation.”

Today has been a - when you give a moose a muffin kind of day....a pot of stoneground porridge (great breakfast but I made too much) led me to bake oatmeal sourdough bread. Then of course I had to bake regular sourdough bread and I STILL had more porridge so now Scottish Oatcakes are in the oven!

It’s another snowy day in West Virginia. Taking advantage of the fluffy snow to ‘snow wash’ my woolen knit garments. It works! The snow will attract any dirt particles and the garments will smell fresh and clean. (This is a tip from people in Scandinavian countries)

It's a snowy day (and snow day) in West Virginia, first time I've lived here when the snow has lasted more than 48 hours! Really grateful to have a fireplace in the parsonage...what a difference a cheery fire makes! What are you up to today?
