Now That I’m Home

11/01/07

I will be continuing my story now that I have something to write about. It will be a bit different though, in that this is happening in “real time.”

I do ask my reader(s) to pray for me as I am discerning a call to the Diaconate. I have previously met with our priest, and discussed it with him. He was very helpful and is encouraging me to pursue this “call” from God.

We are meeting with a deacon and his wife, later this week, (11/15) to talk about the office.

There is also a meeting on November 29th, for all who are discerning this call in the north Iowa area.

Thank you all so much.

I have received the application to the diaconate. Man is it lengthy!

My wife completed her questionnaire, and I completed my application for the Diaconate. It is due the 30th of March, so we over-nighted it. I had put off my physical and my dental appointments until the last minute and I shouldn’t have done that. Thankfully, the dentist had a last minute cancellation and worked me in.

I’ve done my part, now it’s in God’s hands. Please continue your prayers for God’s will in this matter.
