Its all NEW this year

Well, we have flown through the first week of 2008 without noticing it!
“New” is how I would characterize our lives. everything is new around here recently… and I don’t suspect that will change!

• We have our first tenant in our house, a great guy named Salvatore, an Italian mafioso-looking guy turned passionate Christ follower. What a character. Sicilian with a passion for wine, fast cars and making money. I love him!

• My office has been turned into a temp office for ICF Geneva after the heating was shut off. To make a VERY long story short, some ppl didn’t like us working in the office we were given, and took it upon themselves to shut the heating off. During winter, this poses a problem! So until things warm up, ICF offices are chez KIBBE!

• Harriet is BIG and gorgeous. OK, the first 20 odd weeks were alright, but now she is really starting to balloon. The reality of parenthood is looming and i find myself reading a lot more about parenting, talking a lot more about parenting and praying a lot more about parenting! I think we have 18 weeks to go……… definitely a new thing.

• The reality of living in and paying rent on a villa is definitely a new thing.

• Have also been asked to “officially” be a pastor on staff with ICF Geneva. Definitely new and exciting. (I will, like Paul did 2000 yrs ago, be in full time ministry while running my own business to financially support myself and family!) That’s new for me!

SO much new. SO much excitement.
I am looking forward to this year. Photos of new years eve with ICF up in the mountains (Nax) soon.
