Snowy Morning

It's Ash Wednesday, and we are expecting 8-12 inches of snow today. We were supposed to get some overnight, but it's mostly just sleet and slush. I have services at Seabury and St. Elisabeth's tonight. Hope I can get there. Although I will miss my friends at seminary, I am ready to go back to VA and not have to deal with this weather anymore.

As promised there are a few more ordination pictures here. The first one is me before the service. Second is my family sitting in their pew. Third is me and my brother. And the last one is me with all my godparents. For the next batch I'll post pictures of friends.

I had 3 great job interviews while I was in VA, and I'd be happy to go to any of the churches. One has called to invite me back in a couple of weeks and the one with the rector position wants to bring me back after Easter. I'm very happy to be returning to my diocese. When I've gone to Council in the past, I've been disappointed, but this year I was really proud of the energy there. Plus, they used Enriching Our Worship at both the ordination and the Council Eucharist. On Sunday the gospel was read in Korean and English (we have a new Korean church plant in our dioscese), and we had a good variety of music. The bank of people at the front were not just old white men. I felt so pleased to be there and so pleased with where they seem to be going. Maybe we'll be ready for a new bishop by next year.
