running....running...

What a busy month it is turning out to be! Already 2/3 into it, and lots happening. The boy turned 4 a week ago, and is feeling his boyness. A great opportunity to transition into more (age-appropriate) chores and tasks. This is likely to make the mornings longer as the "do it myself" mode takes over. Yesterday the party with grandparents, so many thank yous to write--a fun haul and not too overwhelming.

Busy stuff at work too as we head into big changes a month and a half from now. Much planning, many steps, items to cross of the checklist. Also much coordination of parties involved, and I am the coordinator.... How well this is executed could be significant for me.

God-life: getting more involved in our church's women's ministry, learning how this side of church administration works, and getting to a different kind of teamwork than I see in my work environment, in both a good way and a bad way. Workplaces are in many ways more organized than churches (this church anyway) and to my pastor's credit he is placing appropriate emphasis on having our administrative ducks in a row so that the collective ministries can function the way they should. To my memory this is in keeping with passages in the New Testament that talk about the organization of the early church. Good administration is necessary to allow the spiritual side to work its work.
