and these are the words she spoke

We're moving (well, as soon as we sell our house we are moving)! Its been announced - I have been appointed rector of St. Mary's Ponoka and we're really excited :) .  I put my name in for this position over the summer and interviewed a couple of weeks ago. To be honest, when I first heard that this church was going to be hiring I sort of thought if I put my name in it would be a done deal but there were actually quite a few applications for the job and so all of September was filled with wondering where we were going to go and what we were going to do.  The interview, however, went really well and both Scott and I and the committee felt that we were meant to be at St. Mary's.  And so, the house is on the market and we are keeping our eyes on a few places in Ponoka that we'd like to rent.  Ponoka is a town of about 5000 people an hour south of Edmonton.  Neither Scott or I have ever lived in a town this small before and I have never been in a 'rural church ministry' situation so both are going to be a big adjustment but i'm looking forward to the adventure. Terrified, but  I'm actually thinking that a small town might be a good change for us. I'm not a fan of suburbia and i'm interested to see if small town life might be for us.
and so, in honour of the new gig, i've been listening to some John Prine

Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper

Go to the country, build you a home

Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches

Try an find Jesus on your own
