Hit the ground running

Having to hit the ground running seems to be a common theme in my life in the last few years. From moving out to the Seminary (always right before classes) to vacations, and returning from vacations it seems as I'm always having to be on the move. Sarah and I got to go home and see our families. I preached on Christmas day, which made for me having taken part in 8 services in 3 days, and then we flew out the day after Christmas. We rented a car and drove out to see Sarah's side of the family first and of course split our time pretty well evenly between her side and my side. It all went entirely too fast, I did end up losing my voice for a few days, right when I would have been preaching again had Doug not stepped in so Sarah and I could go see family (Thanks Doug!), but other than that the trip was good.

Then hitting the ground running yet again we come back to St. Paul, hop in a taxi and head back to our apartment. Sarah worked a full day, I went in for a half day (on what is normally my day off, but I needed to know what was going on) then we both were assisting the Sunday we got back. Sarah's supervisor got sick so her big day got even bigger, I was able to help out a little by picking up a few things for the evening at her church, and I stuck around to help setup for the event too. Thankfully she had a lot of good help and so she wasn't really alone and things went well.

The rest of our week is pretty busy, asides from a quick hour or two together in the evening I think we'll get to see each other Saturday...maybe. Such is the life of a clergy couple.

Godspeed.
