"I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally successful man. And I've failed much more than I've succeeded. And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better." - Calvin Trager
It's official ... we are in the new house on Pershing. We close on the Midland house over the next couple days, and although we dearly love that wonderful place, we will be so glad to only be owning one house. Even more, we will be so glad not to be dealing any more with the realtor for the buyer, who is just as unscrupulous as they come. Decorum and Christian charity prevents me from saying more!
But we're moved in. THe kids have been just incredible with the adjustment. There are, of course, boxes everywhere, but things are starting to take shape. Robin has the kitchen looking great ... Emily and Banji brought some flowers over as a housewarming gift and they really spruce up the kitchen wonderfully. We got the kids room set up the first night -- actually got the IKEA bunk bed reassembled in only an hour. Got the kids playroom (pretty much a large closet) somoewhat put together yesterday. The cable guy was here today and when I get home from the Rockwell House BBQ, I'm going to try to get our bedrooom put together. Robin did a lot on the living room today, and that's looking great. Tomorrow the plumber comes so we will have a washer working and (please!) more than one toilet working! It's all coming together!
I wish I could show you pictures ... but I can't find the digital camera. I think Robin has it. If I can get it from her, I might take some later tonight and (if the internet is working) post them.
Lots more going on. I'll try to post more regularly. More later.

"Christ's example is being
demeaned by the church if they ignore the new leprosy,
which is AIDS. The church is the sleeping giant here.
If it wakes up to what's really going on in the rest
of the world, it has a real role to play. If it doesn't,
it will be irrelevant."
