Back to "Normal"



Just want you to know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth since arriving back in Napa and I don't want you to lose total interest in the bigger picture of what all this has been about. I did return to business as usual with a wedding for a couple who live just down the street on Sabbath afternoon. That was a fun wedding for sure, located in the Ryde Hotel in Walnut Grove, CA. This hotel was built in the height of prohibition and the reception was held in what was a well patroned speakeasy. Lots of movie stars, presidents, and gangsters frequented this place. No wonder I felt right at home! the beautiful young lady is, of course, my wife and it is so good to be back with her. The family pic was taken on Sunday as we took Hanna (Ingrid's mom) back up to Ukiah. On the way we hooked up briefly with Mark and Susi Etchell and their girls, Bekka on the left and Lis on the right. Mark is the Sr. Pastor at the Walla Walla City Church and has a fantastic program going there with the help of Susi. I want to include some of his concepts in the book as well. Now things are really back to normal as I have two funerals on the schedule as well.  It was a good thing I got home a half day early as I was able to make one visit just hours before my member passed away.  God's timing is fantastic!  Stay tuned and I will get posts up at least a couple times a week and keep you up to date on the book progress and other happenings.
