still around...

Yep, I'm still around. Starting to rev up the ole writing elbow here.

Since Kate's graduation we have been settling in for the summer. Kate and Martha on Kate's choir tour to Arizona. Kate directed the choir at the assisted living community where my mother and step-father live and including Church of the Red Rocks in Sedona, a UCC church whose minister was my sr pastor when I was an intern in Philadelphia 35 years ago. Molly has played in two soccer tournaments (Jarosi and Continental Cup) and is in conditioning with her high school team getting ready for the adidas National Schowcase in two weeks.

And me...reading. Right now the book "The Serenity Prayer" - Faith and Politics in the Times of Peace and War, by Reinhold Niebuhr's daughter Elisabeth Sifton. It is great history, interesting reflection on Niebuhr's intention when he first developed the prayer, and his own personal life situations.
