Giddy up!

In a few short days my family and I will be moving up North for seminary. I beg your prayers for our safe travel and a successful move-in. Additionally, our current home doesn't sell for some weeks and any orations made for an unimpeded transaction there will also be most welcome.

I must say that the idea of snow that "sticks" and must be pushed off the roads is an unsettling one, but at the same time one can walk down the thoroughfare in summertime and not sweat into almost immediate dehydration.

The people will be different I expect as will some customs I've grown up with being a good Son of the South. Classmates will notice the way my children say words like fixing to, ma'am, and y'all. My wife will have to find a good resource for nopales, jalapeños, and grits. I will have to adjust to roads that claim to be straight, but wander hither and thither like a man lost in the dark. Orthodoxy is also rather different (language, dress, demographics) down here than it is up there and I hope that adjustment is a smooth one as well.

God willing, the blog will continue unabated. Your prayers have been invaluable as the blog has weathered new children, injuries, and illnesses. I trust a change in scenery won't be the downfall of the site.
