Spring is an interesting season here in Kansas. We are supposed to have overnight lows below freezing tomorrow night with daytime highs in the 50s, even though we have had several days of 70s and even low 80s already this year. Severe storms passed through the area in the last couple weeks, and it hasn’t been that long since we last saw snow. We have had rain and a little flooding, which makes everyone tense after last year’s 100 - year flood.
Our life here in Kansas so far has gone much the same way: pretty much unpredictable. We have been here for a year and four months, and have already dealt with death and major illness in the congregation, flood - relief efforts, pregnancies, a wedding, several baptisms, all on top of the normal “routine” of ministry, which, obviously, is anything but routine. But, that’s what makes it so enjoyable.
