OK, someone PM'd me and it came to my e-mail. But, I needed to come over here to respond to that PM. I did so.

I also thought that, since it has been about a couple months since checking in at CA, I better just quickly and say hello.

No, I am not dead!
No, I have not given up on cigars!

Since my father's death, things have gotten weirdly busy. Tim graduated, and the attendant problems associated with that. The entire parsonage had new flooring put in, and that brought about some major work - everything was moved out into the garage. And in moving back in, I am going through a bunch of stuff (need this? no? garbage! Hmm, yes that needs to stay). Having three congregations is enough work without the other things.

AND, I want to spend some time with my family face to face.

So, something had be give. I have not been on CA, but I do note that I was missing something. I cannot say for sure that I am back for daily visits, in fact, I am not sure what I will stay to read after I post this (I have to teach another Bible Study yet tonight), but I did want to stop in and say, "Hello," let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers, and to say, yeah, I will probably get back here a bit more regularly.

I should also do a my-son-graduated-and-accomplished-this sort of a brag post one day.

Anyway, I am alive and well. living life large, and enjoying it.

Peace of the Lord be with you all.

Todd -
Good to hear you are moving forward and getting on track. Good thoughts and prayers for all that is going on. This place is better for having you involved! :-)

Welcome back, Todd!

Todd, glad to hear from you. It's always better to be busy than to be bored. I think.

Go smoke a cigar.

Todd who?

You're one to talk! :-)

Sometimes life just keeps you busy and your plate full Todd. So here's what I'm thinking...

You should have a herf going simultaneously with that Thursday Bible Study Todd. Don't call it the S.H.I.T. cuz that's already taken. The study group attendance would expand tremendously and discussion (although it would lean probably to more cigar discussion) would be totally off the wall:-)

I think its a great idea...:-)
