I'm Back

It's been a few years since I have posted anything. But my preaching daughter, feeling, I think, that my Facebook posts were getting to be a bit long, suggested that I get back to blogging. So here I am. I miss preaching each week. Listen to the news, read the papers, and "stuff" goes on in my life, and I have no one to dump on, on anything like a regular basis. The preaching bug did get the best of me back in the early summer of 2011 and I took a town/country church over in the Millsboro area. Hickory Hill Church is a collection of good old Sussex County folks -- the likes of which I grew up with. They let me skirt over there in that progressive territory where I love to roam -- let me say some good things about the president's attempt to secure healthcare for those who don't have it; let me suggest that just maybe the Bible is not as explicit on sexual to-do's and not to-do's as some might think -- and, as far as I know, no one got bent out of shape with some of my liberal tendencies. But my daughter, Vicky, came to be the pastor here in Rehoboth Beach, and I had to be there, sitting in the pew, out in front of her each Sunday, and marvel at God's grace and goodness, and, yes, Wave (my wife) and my having done a few things right with raising our first born, and scarring her just enough so that she can preach with a sincerity and depth that seems to come only from having walked through some vallies along the way. So I said good bye to Hickory Hill the first of the year, and need someone to spout off to. So, here I am.
