I told you last week that I would be getting ready for RUF Orientation this week. Ruth thought that meant household chores, so we spent Memorial Day Monday cleaning the street. The week also featured planting the garden and deconstructing the sandbox. We were so pleased to get Ruth's desktop computer repaired that we sent… Continue reading May 31, 2020 — Home, Week 11

Last week was good, but unusual. I had two long video meetings with Joey Barnet to help him get ready for ministry at Delaware. On Tuesday we had a long video meeting with all RUF coordinators and office staff to discuss how to resume in-person ministry and how to conduct July staff training. RUF Assessment… Continue reading May 24, 2020 — Home, Week 10

I'm typing this post from my front porch. Summer is on the way! Last week was more Zoom video calls, regular phone calls, and emails. We're working daily to settle on a new man for Millersville.

I didn't have major scheduling problems this week, because I planned to do fewer things! My primary tasks were producing a video for Orientation and preaching at the virtual Large Group Meeting for Brown/RISD RUF. On Monday we had our weekly Area Coordinator video call and I took care of routine business. Wednesday I reserved… Continue reading April 26, 2020 — Home, Week 6

On Monday I had to reschedule some things. Then again on Tuesday. On Wednesday I gave up planning my week. It was actually a good week - just unexpected. The main concern was the details of placing a new man at Delaware. Dealing with this and other matters meant at least one long phone or video… Continue reading April 19, 2020 — Home, Week 5
