Transition

As of this past Friday I am no longer preaching for the North Penn Church of Christ. My family is in the process of moving out of the parsonage and will be moving back to Tennessee later this month. My family will be looking for a place to settle, and I'll be looking for a job. It may not show in these blog posts, but big changes are underway for the Stanley family.

Wow, Milton. Those are big changes. I'll be praying. Let me know if I can help with your transition back here to Tennessee.

Wow, does this have anything to do with the post just before this about "persecuted christians"?

Good question. It's hard to plumb the depths of even one's own psyche, but I certainly didn't have myself in mind when I read or linked to that one. Peace.

sorry to hear that. i actually stopped by the building on Thursday, because I was coming back from philly on 202 and realized I was passing so close. I know Dave from camp, and figured I would say hey to him and meet you. no one was at the building so I just called dave and chatted awhile.

God bless you during this time of transition. sorry I didn't get to meet you while you were close.

Thanks for stopping by, Brian, and sorry I missed you. For the next 3 weeks I'll be living in the house with the church sign in the front yard, so if you come this way again, be sure to knock on the door; I won't impose upon you to help me pack more than a few boxes. Peace.

a continual transforming transition...or should it be... continual transitional transformation.

change!

Milton,

I don't read your blog for a couple of days and see what happens! I will pray for you. I would not mind knowing more of your story. Keep us posted as you feel comfortable with it.
