A Quick Site Note

If you have been to this site before, you might notice that some things are missing, and that it looks different. I made the choice again to delete my old site(s) and start over. Partially this is to facilitate the process of upgrading the software I use to run it (from Drupal 6.x to Drupal 7.x, for anyone interested in such things), and partially just to get a clean start. That all happened yesterday.

Now I sit here on a cold and rainy Saturday morning of a holiday weekend, with the process incomplete, while I look at 4 computer screens and a video monitor, juggling a variety of tasks that I need and/or want to tackle and, perhaps, accomplish, and my attentions are distracted once again. In theory, my son and daughter-in-law are coming out this morning to help accomplish some much-needed garden prep to get ready to plant all the bedding plants we bought last night (well, they are coming in reality - getting outside is the theoretical part). Then, I have offered to help in the nursery tonight at church, then there is all the activities of tomorrow, etc., etc. In short, while I look forward to all those things (except maybe nursery duty tonight!), I am also sort of warring against that need/desire to stay here in my little cave and accomplish all these tasks - including, but not limited to, the re-creation of this web site.

Ah, well. Grace abounds. The gospel is real and solid to stand on, whatever the everyday issues of life. And I am blessed so richly that sometimes I am just in awe. So whatever I do or don't get done, I hope I can honestly say, "I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

So here we go. Back soon, I hope.
