I've been preoccupied. Overwhelmed is perhaps a more fitting term. So, for those who follow my blog, I apologize for my absence.
Just over a month ago I accepted an offer of employment from Briercrest College and Seminary as seminary dean and assistant professor. It's sort of a dream come true.
The same week my wife was hired as the director of spiritual care and mission at one of the very few facilities in the province of Saskatchewan that provide Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) training for spiritual care practitioners. God's hand was all over this.
So, three of four family members will be packing up and moving halfway across the country from Southern Georgian Bay, Ontario to Southern Saskatchewan. We'll be leaving the valley of apple orchards for the land of the living skies. Our daughter will remain in Ontario to finish up her final year of university. I think it will be harder on me than it is for her.
Pray for us. We are excited about the adventure that awaits but sad about the many friends and family members we leave behind. We are looking forward to new opportunities, friends, and a new place to call home.
