Things change fast.  Just a little while after making my last post on July 13 at Emerald Isle, NC we received word that our daughter had been injured in serious auto  mobile accident near our home in Georgia.  We immediately returned home to care for her. She has some serious ankle injuries but with rehab and some time to heal we anticipate a good recovery.

Thanks for the many prayers and expressions of concern from our church, family, and friends. Your support means a great deal. Our daughter Tricia will be updating folks from time to time on the progress of her recovery.

Needless to say this had caused my sabbatical leave to take an unexpected turn .  While we are grateful for God’s mercy, we are also struggling how to make sense of it all.  May plan is to return to my congregation the week of August 5th and take up the reins once again.  Your prayers during this last week are greatly appreciated.
