Why would such a family leave their beloved Hoosier State, friends, and family for the mountains? I'm starting my vicarage. What's that? It's an internship of sorts. I think it's more closely related to student teaching, but I think you get the idea. In most Christian traditions, a vicar is basically a parish pastor. However, in the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, a vicar is a ministerial student. That year of vicarage is supposed to be a time of formation as a pastor wherein the student gets field experience. He should be under a supervising pastor, sometimes called a bishop, to learn how to be a pastor. This includes preaching, teaching, visiting church members, and other administrative tasks.
So, in order to keep this from rambling too much longer, I'll start to show you around a little. We don't leave for Pagosa Springs until early July, but I have some picture of the house we're going to rent for a while. Enjoy!
If this is about the McKinleys, shouldn't the picture be of the McKinleys and not you and Desmond Tutu? Just saying.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was my Google profile picture. That should take care of it!

ReplyDeleteWe're pretty excited about that, too, DeLaina. We think there might be a doggy door!
