What's Goin' On . . .
I love the song from Porgy and Bess. "Summertime and the
livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high."
Sounds idyllic and that laid back old south style beckons.
Unfortunately,
"it ain't necessarily so!" This summer is turning
out to be very busy in the Christain counseling area. We've
been booked up for months prior to each summer session and
have long waiting lists. Unfortunately, we haven't been able
to serve everyone who has wanted to participate in one of our
brief intensives. Fortunately, we have competent ministries
to which we can confidently refer folks. We also have help
from a few of our Marble Therapy Fellows and a volunteer host
couple to keep our full-time staff refreshed.
The cotton's not so high up here either, but Henry says the
fish are jumpin' in the Crystal. Meanwhile, we're looking
forward to some hiking, baseball, opera, and Aspen Music Festival
concerts (all the usual summer traditions.) We're also looking
forward to the birth of Cheryl and Daryl's baby in August.
We're getting to know and love Karin Evans, our new office
manager for our new Carbondale office. So change is in the
air as well as cherished traditions. That means we're watching
our boundaries so there's time to go "up the lazy river
and linger in the shade of a kind old tree."
Hope your summer gives you some time for dreamin' and singin'
and restin' in the Lord.
