Construction Pain

Oh the fun... Construction started in the kitchen last Wednesday with the taking out of the cabinets. It has metamorphed into a project with a life of its own and its own time schedule. The kitchen will not be complete until after I am gone and moved into my new assignment at St. Daniels. Thus, two weeks with no kitchen. However, this gives us time to paint and prep for the new countertops. Have I mentioned that I hate painting? The walls in the kitchen are almost done, lots of detail work in the kitchen plus the ceiling. Oh the fun of painting... However, the rectory will survive. We will see how the project advances! The new appliances did arive today after ordering them yesterday! Go Maytag Store!
God Bless,
Arthur

break for a few

CPE is over. I passed and all is happy. I currently at the rectory helping out with different projects, resting and preparing to go to St. Daniels on the 4th of September. It is nice to have time to just sit and relax and do what I want to do. Not having a pager is also very nice! Enjoy going back to school :) Arthur

the end is near

The end is near. For CPE that is. Next Friday it will be done and i will come out a better and more informed person. I will not be returning to the seminary but instead doing a pastoral year at a parish in phoenix, yet to be determined. Thus, there is a lot going on but God is still with me and I know he will not abandon me. Have to run to dinner! God Bless. Arthur
