We’re taking most of the next two weeks away from posting. Rich is on the road. (In a vehicle, not a bike.) I’m still working at the hospital, since we never close. (Please be careful on Christmas Day if you are in Fort Wayne.)

I’ll have Sunday prayers, as usual. And Paul will be here on the first Friday.

And I think I want to write something about completing 16 years of sending these almost daily emails. (We’ll start our 17^th year together on January 1, 2025.)

But I think that being a little looser about the schedule for a couple weeks will be wise for all of us.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement and time. I’m grateful.

And if you haven’t read “Finding your own grief pace” over at Finding Words in Hard Times, I invite you to do that.

Jon (for Nancy, and Rich and Becky Dixon, and Paul and Heather Merrill)
