Forgive My Absence

I am sorry for my absence during these twenty three days of February. I seem to have lost motivation to reflect and to write.

There have been some highlights in February:

• February 3rd was my 63rd birthday. Shannon and Madilynn drove down from Seattle, and along with Sonja and Irene celebrated my birthday with a steak and lobster dinner at the Out Back Steakhouse.

• February 17th was my daughter's 42nd birthday. Sonja flew back to Pensacola to spend her birthday and a couple of days with Bryttanty. She had a great time! She left 79 degree weather to return to 26 and snow.

• My granddaughter reported to the Pensacola Naval Air Station. She is waiting for the formation of a class to begin Air Traffic Control School.

• I was asked in February to preach a Sunday Night service in March at the Trinity Bible Church.

• I was encouraged by an 90 minute phone call from a friend from a former church I pastored.
