Hello? Is anybody out there? Ha ha - It's been a long, long time. It would take me weeks of blogging to catch you up on all that has transpired since I last blogged back in March of 2014. Wowsers!

Here's the facts...just the facts.

I'm now a grandfather twice over - in addition to our first grandchild Olivia, which I blogged about way back when, we now have a grandson, Zach, born to our daughter Amy and her husband John. The Halleys live in Ft. Myers, FL.

I'm still working at Inco Services in Alpharetta, doing a variety of HR/Purchasing/Accounting functions. I enjoy my work there (and especially the people there) a lot.

We still live in Cumming - in fact I've now lived in the same house for longer than I have ever lived in one house. Miracles never cease.

We are still attending Creekside UMC - we're about to start our fifth year back there now and we love our church! I'm also about to start teaching again there. We're starting a new Bible Study in January. It will be fun to be back in the saddle again and it will be good to get a few more miles out of the thousands of dollars I have invested in theological education and training. I've started a companion blog to this one for the class, you'll find it here http://www.newtestamenttravelers.com/. My thinking? If you can't keep one blog going on a regular basis, why not start another!

Early next year I will turn 60 years old. That's right, the big Six-Oh. Can't believe it. It's taking some getting used to, but I'm doing my best these days to finally grow up now that I'm getting so old I can't hide it any longer.

Love to all and perhaps I will be a bit more faithful to blog over here now that I'm getting more "mature."
