So anyway...had to go do dinner. Back to yak again.
Goodbye Guy and Jan. My minister, guy and his wife Jan, my realtor, are officially on their way to Lansing, Michigan. We had a going away party of sorts for them last Saturday. It turned out more of a counseling session as Guy spent most of the evening helping us deal with his departure and the fact that it is up to us to heal the church and make sure that it never happens again. Basically, in a nutshell, a small group led by a monied family who have been at the church for years, forced Guy out, just because they didn't like him. Very few people saw this coming. As Guy said Saturday, we are all now awake to this issue, and are less likely to let it slip by again.
Guy has shown an amazing strength throughout all of this, and I will miss his humor and energy.
I really grew to know and love Jan while she was helping me find a house. She actually made something fairly confusing and stressful into something fun. I credit her for finding my dream house. She also put up with all my stressing out all while she herself was being stressed out by her husband's job problems and having to move. An absolute Goddess!
I will miss them, but really, they haven't totally left. They have taught me much, and those gifts will stay with me forever!
