Where Is The Music?

I never had any idea how much of an adjustment it would be not to be with the guys each week, but it's a big change.

The open practice night is already going to fill in with Spanish lessons come late October or early November. Also, as my wife and I investigate where God wants us in missions, we are starting a small group study in our home called Missions Minded. It's for people who have a passions or interest in missions. It will meet two Fridays per month.So missions preparation and personal growth have jumped into the gap.

It's the right thing to do, but there is no replacement for Sojourn. There isn't any equivalent thing or activity that I can do that is what Sojourn is (or was). My wife used to tell me that change, even positive change, involves an element of loss. She always said that in order to have one thing you have to forgo something else, and that you should take the time to "morn the loss".

So, I'm in this searching out and learning phase of my trip toward the mission field. It's fairly ill defined, and involves more reading and thinking than anything else. I suppose the other thing that is happening is the process of letting go of Sojourn, a 14 year companion.

Hope that doesn't sound overly dramatic.
