Mis-quoting my friend Phyllis Tickle (whom is also quoting someone when she says this) it seems that there is some sort of rummage sale (or at least a garage clean up) in my life every five years.

Time’s up. I’m at it again.

Five years ago my family and I moved to Seattle looking for a space to re-kindle our sense of vocation and explore opportunities for more education.

Much have happened since then.

• I worked at a machine shop.
• came out from the Anglican closet
• dig deeper into my cultural roots
• went from 1 kid to 3
• discover that balding is unstoppable
• worked at an Episcopal Cathedral
• Planted many mustard seeds of hope
• cultivated an intentional community
• was embraced by a sense of call / vocation

Among many other wonderful things – last March I was welcomed to the Postulancy in The Episcopal Church. And I recently started a Masters degree program at School for Theology and Ministry at Seattle University.

My life is in transition now and I feel I must pay close attention to those which are close.

There will be some “church” geekiness still, however I’ll be a bit quietier and more discerning on where my energy and attention goes.

See you around.
