We went to church yesterday. It was great to worship again and I realized how much I've missed the people there. Everyone enjoyed meeting the divine Miss M, who slept the whole time. Of course, Senior Pastor wanted to come over today and start filling me in--gah! I still have five weeks of leave left! I got her to send me an e-mail instead. It is very nice to be missed.

The parish associate preached, a wonderful American Baptist pastor with wonderful presence and great boundaries (my mentor in this area) and he related a story about a friend of his who told him about a miraculous experience he'd had. He said, "At other times of my life I would have doubted some details of this story; now I am learning how to doubt my doubts."

Doubt the doubts. That really speaks to me.

I am in the process of re-publishing my blog using different software. R is helping me because I'm not going with Typepad or Blogger--we will host it ourselves. I don't understand it all (can you tell?) but what I have wanted is a couple additional features and a way to pretty up the place, all while retaining some of the great features of journalscape. (E-mail subscribers, bloglines readers, you will still be able to do that, for example.) But I didn't want to move unless I could take everything with me--posts and comments--and R was able to solve that problem for me. Unfortunately, he was up half the night doing it. He does that sometimes--stays up really late with an interesting technical problem to solve. I'll startle awake and realize he's not in bed, call downstairs and he usually sounds like he's having the time of his life. Of course the next day he has to sleep it off a bit. It's like he goes on a Nerd Bender.

Gotta go--having lunch with some friends, then it's M's two-month pediatric visit. Can't believe she's two months old today!
