Transitions

I know I don't post much these days. I'd like to post more... I really would! There's been a lot of changes in the last five years or so. Here's a quick rundown— 

  • 2018 (April): Kathy retired after working 27 years for the Kentucky Department of Education.
  • 2018 (August) After the same number of years in Kentucky (where we originally moved so I could go to the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville), we moved back to Louisiana to be closer to family. 
  • 2019 (September): Kathy was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery (partial mastectomy) and radiation. She is cancer-free, while still undergoing treatment, and we are thankful. 
  • 2019 (December): We were received into the Eastern Orthodox Church through baptism and chrismation. 
  • 2020: COVID hit. No more needs to be said.
  • 2021: We built a house in Benton, Louisiana, next to Kathy's mother, Dottie, so that Kathy could help take care of her as Dottie's health continued to decline.
  • 2022 (February): Kathy's mother, Dottie, passed away.
  • 2022 (November): After working as Technology Evangelist for Accordance Bible Software since 2014 (with part-time training seminars and conferences for a number of years on the side before that), I quit
  • 2023 (August): I went back to school, working toward a Master of Theological Studies (General Track) degree at the Antiochian House of Studies.
  • 2023 (October): I began a new job as Product Operations Specialist for Logos Bible Software

Whew! That's a lot in a short time. And for what it's worth, between school and work (plus 9 acres and two houses), I feel busier than ever. Nevertheless, I'd like to write in this space again, so I will try to update things here more often. 

Hold me to it.
