Still here

It has been a long time since my last post: since 8/26/2005 according to the site. A lot has happened. I am now treasurer of the Memphis Scottish Society as well as holding offices in the local and state SMOTJ. We have several new cats. The Memphis C. S. Lewis Society is now studying "That Hideous Strength." It is interesting to reread it after all these years. I remember some parts but have forgotten much.

My church is still looking for a pastor and a youth minister, and in the midst of a controversy over the diaconate. Please pray for us.

Other strange things: the president wants a company owned by the UAE to run our ports. Something does not feel right here. I must admit that I am losing confidence in this president, as much as I liked him at first. I feel that Americans should be running American ports.

Oh, yes. Now I understand countersteering. I tried it on my bicycle, and it works. Well, I still do not totally understand it intellectually, but I know through experience that it works.

What else? I'm behind in most things, as usual. It's late, so I'll keep this one short. It's just a note to say that I'm still here, if anyone is interested.
