24 Oct 07 The Way We’re Measured

Even prior to arriving here and quite frequently since moving here I’ve heard, been told and reminded at how my predecessor specialized in funerals.  (I’m not saying this to be critical just stating current reality).  Needless to say I felt a tremendous amount of pressure about officiating this funeral.  The thing is, I was surprised that I felt pressured.  It’s not a competition.  We all do best what we do best.  In everything else we do the best we can.  Understand the difference?  Maxine was honored and remembered.  The family was appreciative of the service and so it seems I passed the test.  Interesting the things by which we are measured and by which we are remembered.

In other news we passed our first inspection at Casa Wray.  This means no more digging underneath the house - THE LORD BE PRAISED!  I’ll still have to crawl under there to pour cement and attach the posts but the digging is over!
