Some years ago Alban Institute published a booklet by Roy Oswald, Running Through the Thistles. When Oswald was a boy growing up on the prairies of Canada he'd walk barefoot to school in the fall. Taking a short cut across summer fallow fields on his way home he'd encounter massive patches of canada thistle. There were two methods of crossing the thistles. He could try to tip toe through the weeds or he could make a run for it at top speed. His point was that many pastors leaving a congregation opt for quick departure like a boy running through the thistles.
When contemplating downsizing from a three bedroom condo to a one bedroom apartment at Lexington Landing I wonder. Is it best to deliberately take time, tip toeing through the process? Or would it be better to run full tilt through the thistles and just get it over? With occupancy available effective December 6, either method is possible. Stay tuned!
Takk for alt,
Al
