Or something like that.

We seem to be finally settling in. The house is more or less in order, the girls had a two weeks of school before the Christmas break, and I'm getting more comfortable with the new gig.

I appear to have survived the Advent and Christmas rush. I'm learning names. And I'm trying to get used to the worship space. Steps are not where I'm used to, they aren't the same elevation, things are in different places. It'll take time, but it's a good congregation and I'm looking forward to being here for a long while.

Any regular readers out there may recall the incident(s) of Christmases Past where the tree fell over on top of me during a service or two. Nothing like that happened here, but I did misjudge where a step was and almost took a serious tumble during the early service on Christmas Eve. As it was, I managed to catch myself on the organ and chairs before ending up on the floor.

Now that the Christmas rush is over, I really need to start working on the list of things to do -- such as, update the website, meet with all the committees for some training, and whatever else I've got to do.

Tomorrow I am going to visit some shut ins and deliver a Christmas gift to them from the church and introduce myself. I took the day off, but it'll be nice to have a day to do that without worrying about what's on the desk.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day and I look forward to being more active online.

Continued blessings for the rest of the season.
