This Wednesday night I prayed the opening prayer at the Bacclaureate service here in Fowler. It is my first week on the job, and I have already recieved two responsibilities in community services.
Today, after the service for our soon-to-be graduates here in Fowler, I started visiting with people. Several people have asked:
"So how is that bathroom you are getting redone coming along?"
I am always a little shocked when I meet people for the first time, and they know that the church is remodeling our bathroom. This is especially interesting when it is in a conversation with people I am meeting for the first time.
I met the head of the local bank. He asked about the progress of our bathroom.
So did the minister of the Christian Church.
In a way this is a little shocking, and in a way this is a compliment and a comfort that people seem so invested in our adjusting well.
All in all, this is life and ministry in a small town.

Well it sounds like things are going well. I like the comfort of small town living. I'm think seriously about going back to the small town I grew up in. I'd go right now except for the tiny little matter of not having a job there and having a husband and a house here.
LOL
