The first three days of this week, we were in Chicago enjoying the EP Gathering. It was a great time conversing about Christian Formation in Congregations. Monday evening we played hooky from the Gathering and went to Wrigley Field. I'm working on getting a picture posted here for everyone to envy. It was everything people say about Wrigley.....the fans were out of this world enthusiastic!
Wednesday we traveled through IL and made a quick stop to have dinner and conversation with some lay leaders from Parkview.
Now, we are in Kansas City for just a few days to pack and clean! And SELL OR RENT this house that occupies the corner of 26th and Garfield in Kansas City, KS. I have not been calling the place "home" for most of the summer. It no longer feels like home to me. When we stay here, it feels more like we are visiting and camping.
The countdown is on. Five days! Our days of wandering are about over and we are ready. We are ready to learn lots of new names. We are ready to cook meals and sleep in our own bed. Like, the exiles that returned from Babylon, our eyes, ears, and hearts are wide open. We know that God is making the way for us...."You shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be the Lord for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." (Isaiah 55:12-13)
