It's the last week of my wife working as the associate pastor at Ozark United Methodist Church. On July 1 she will become the pastor of the Golden City United Methodist Church in Golden City MO.
Obviously her life is changing significantly, but in this marriage thing, so will mine.
What is changing? Well, other than a new location to worship, and not seeing all our friends at OUMC and meeting new people there, not really much.
We won't be leaving Sparta, so there will be the same bills to pay, the same grass to mow and the same bed to sleep in. Boring, perhaps, but comforting.
Regina will be commuting to Golden City and will have days to work there, so a regular routine around here may take a while to establish, it may never happen.
There is the change the disrupts not only my life, but everyones, losing my routine.
Over the years, knowingly or unknowingly, we all establish a routine. It may not always be exact, but it probably involves family time, a job, a hobby and some really wasted time. We don't like it to change, and when it does it can be upsetting or exciting.
Right now with the last week at OUMC in the headlights, I can only say that my routine is being changed and it's kind of exciting, and kind of sad. Needless to say, for some of you reading this blog, you agree. Life is changing, times are changing, but if we so desire, friendships don't have to change.
Peace.
