As we all have experienced at one time or another, sometimes even the most promising plans do not turn out as expected. This is one of those times. In the past few weeks events have transpired that would elongate my ordination process by at least three months. With a multitude of factors in play, this puts us in a nearly impossible financial situation. So with deep regret, we have decided not to pursue the calling to Carbondale, IL any further at this time. While this initially seemed like a very unfortunate setback, it has also allowed us to reconsider our current situation with a much wider perspective. While we have no definite plans or job opportunities at this time, we have decided to pack up our stuff and return to PA to spend some quality time with family and friends while we consider where the Lord will lead us next. Many in my family have had little to no contact with my youngest two children. Lord willing, we will now be able to rectify that situation - which is a huge blessing in itself.
So it appears the Venture will continue for a time ...
