Feeling NEEDED - At Home and AWAY

One of the biggest hurdles in retirement was feeling "Not Needed" that was cured in one fell swoop today with three phone calls. McNabb Lutheran and Granville Lutheran Extended an offer to Preach August 16, 2009. Messiah Lutheran extended an offer for me to preach August 29th and 30th 2009. Finally Kewanee First United Methodist extended an offer for me to preach July 19th, 2009 with a possiblity of also preaching July 26th. In addition, I was sked ot do pastoral care for   Kewanee First United Methodist July 15th through July 28th, 2009.

AH! I Feel NEEDED Again!

Oh, I am still needed at home, and with my motto of "one small task a day completed". Today Anne and I installed the LAST piece of downstairs bathroom/laundry room subfloor! Only had to take it out and trim three times to make it fit!

Oh Well, 

God Bless, and Good Night,

Martin
