It’s an unseasonably warm blustery night. We just got in from evening church. It was a good day. The little church is full every Sunday. Over two hundred are attending. Well, it’s Thanksgiving week, one of my favorite weeks of the year. Holly just got in with the rest of the Eternal Vision Development Team. They had been visiting the Ruth Stewart’s family in Canada this weekend. Ruth is the coordinator of the Eternal Vision program.

The Character Inn
Some of you have never seen our “home” We live on the sixth floor of this building in a nice suite of rooms. Very spacious. Very tidy. No lawn to mow. Let us know if you ever want to come and visit.
Knoxville 2003
When we were in Knoxville this summer we bumped into Doug Phillips. We were both speaking in the same building. When I told him I was a regular reader of his weblog he immediately took a picture of the family and posted it to his weblog… Here is the photo.
The Week at the Character Inn (September 29-October 4)
At least for a while I am the Village Parson again, even while I am directing an urban-based ministry. Sunday morning and evening we drove out to the village of Byron to assume me new duties as regular pulpit supply until they get their new pastor. The church is a beautiful red brick colonial. My morning message was: “How A Church Can Be More Than Just a Pretty Building.” In the evening we had communion and I preached on “Understanding Love in the Light of the Cross.” The people were very kind and listened attentively. I am going to enjoy our ministry there.

This Week (September 15-21, 2003)
This weekend I preached in South Haven. It was a perfect early autumn-like weekend. On the way over we visited my little brother Nathan’s new home and spent the night there enjoying a long talk with coffee by the fireside before bed.

This Week (September 9-15, 2003)
As I write this we are on our way home from South Haven where we preached and sang at Bethel Baptist Church. Chuck is driving so I can write and work on some messages for tomorrow. We will return for the next two Sundays to South Haven. I am looking forward to being on the west coast of Michigan for the arrival of autumn. The trees are just starting to color in a few places. Saturday night we stood on a wooden deck drinking coffee and watching sailboats come into harbor at dusk.
