Touching Base

It has been a long time since we have written anything. We have been so busy with ministry and trying to earn and income since we are self-employed that we have not taken time to blog. Hope to get in the habit of doing more blogging even if it is a little at a time. I have always been an all or nothing person.
The very first thing I should blog about is Carmi's diagnosis of breast cancer.

Seattle Police Chaplaincy

Last Thursday I graduated from the Seattle PD Chaplaincy Academy. So I am officially a community chaplain for the East Precinct which is just a block from our studio apartment.
The training was very good. We are very thankful to have the opportunity to attend.
We will be called out for death notifications, hospital visits, accident scenes, our other crisis situations. This will give us the opportunity to have more contact with the local community.

At the edge of a blessing

About the time it looks like things are getting better financially, it seems like all hell comes at us. At the time it seems like there is a breakthrough in our ministry, all hell comes at us. At the time Carmi and I are getting really close, all hell comes at us.
Anyone ever felt that way? I am sure there are others. What do you do at those times?

Carmi and I
Print View Posted by administrator, Categories [ Rich Dover ][ (0) Comment ] | [ (0) Trackbacks ]
Carmi and I are doing very well in our relationship with each other. God continues to mold and shape us. Like any couple we have our hard times, but we really do have fun as a couple and God knew what He was doing when he put us together.
Ministry can be so draining at times mentally, emotionally, and financially. At times we would like to just move out in the woods in Oregon and hide from people. But we are smart enough to know that we would not be happy. It is in our blood (it is our calling) to be ministers of the Gospel. I guess we are 'addicted' to touching lives.
