My typepad experience is coming to an end. In a few days I will be going back to the “free” is good blogging thing. I’m trying Wordpress.com out. The export thing took only about 30 minutes. Now to the editing and designing.

I’ve been a lazy blogger of late. I’ve been preoccupied with the job search, kids going back to school, and trying to figure out what parts of my life do I need to get in order prior to my next call as a pastor. I had a wonderful interview with a church this past weekend and I’m looking forward to another interview I’m having soon. It is a reminder though that God has given me some much needed free-time with my bride and with the kiddoes that I need to not take this time for granted. Last night it hit me when I was making cookies at 11:00pm for my new seventh grader. Have you ever had "hot" cookies and ice cold milk at 11:00pm? Anyways, I don’t ever recall my parents making cookies for me to take to school for a back to school night and as I gobbled a half dozen "small" chocolate chip oatmeal cookies in the quiet of the night, I was overwhelmed with gratitude from on high that Deb and I get the honor and privilege of being parental units and even though I didn’t receive the same kind of love and care from my own parents, that the Lord has placed it on our hearts to "step up" as parents. As for the cookies I just ran three miles an hour ago. I hope I lost them…
