Interlude:

For me, the next week or so will be something of an interlude.  For you who read my blog, it will be a "quiet time."  We're leaving in the morning for my trip to Gastonia, North Carolina, and my weekend of special services at the First ARP of Gastonia, where my friend Mark Tankersley is the associate pastor.  The last few weeks have been such a whirlwind of activity and a roller coaster of emotions that I frankly feel a bit tired and drained tonight; but I have sensed the presence of God as I prepared the sermons for Gastonia, particularly in the past couple of days as I have put them into some kind of final outline form. 

 

Much has been going on over the last few months which I, of course, haven't recorded in this blog--since the blog is not so much a journal of my daily activities as a journal of my thoughts on a wide range of topics.  Still, there will be a time in the next few weeks and months when life and thoughts will converge and all will become clear--well, reasonably clear!

 

I pray that all who read this during the last week of October, 2006, will have a good weekend and a safe Halloween.  If you come across this at some time in the future, then it will be like looking inside a time capsule!  Hmmmmm.  Daniel Berry, a piece of history--a part of Americana.  That's a scary thought!  (Grin.)

 

Well, happy football and snow everybody.  Talk to you more next week some time--when it will be November, 2006.
