this is the view from
my friends front porch
i'm here on the edge of
one state
driving
to the edge of another
state where i will
be living...
making my home
near the edge
of the
atlantic ocean.
driving to the edge
allows one to reflect.
i've learned these past two years.
i've learned from the people who
deeply embraced me
and from those who
pushed me away.
i've learned that
seeking harmony
maintaining harmony
bowing to the needs of others
who demand harmony at all costs
ends up costing...
it cost me
and thus
i learned.
thank GOD
i learned.
but not all of my reflection
was about what i learned...
it was also about
what i received...
i received
love.
so i go to the edge
of the country
full...
both
my mind and my heart.

How can my heart feel full and hurt at the same time? Ah...it's because it has been worked to make it more perfect by someone who has taught me to be strong when scared.
Glad you enjoyed our scenery. G-d's blessings on this new phase of your journey. I will miss you!!! You have always been a blessing to me over the past 29 years!

I was excited to learn of your new call. I was the interim pastor at PPC in the early 90s after a long-term pastorate. What a wonderful, dear congregation will have the pleasure of serving with you! Give my best to all who might remember me and may you find great joy in their midst!!
Blake, we're so glad you're here.
Jennifer, you are not forgotten.
