The Confusion Sets In
"confusion never stops
closing walls and ticking clocks...
come out upon my seas
cursed missed opportunities"
-"Clocks" by Coldplay
(Double references tonight. Name the band responsible for the title for bonus points, though it's pretty easy.)
This one should hopefully be pretty short. I have an open, non-rhetorical question that I hope isn't airing too much dirty laundry: how, in marriage, do you say you're sorry for something that you can't change? Corollary: how do you show your spouse that it isn't their fault either?
Sharon and I did a lot of thinking and praying before coming to Grove City. I knew any move would be both exciting and hard for me; working remote especially was gonna be rough. At the same time, a move was in order; it was not only what we thought was the will of God but I can see so many ways it is going to (and already is) working out great for us. But the weather starts to turn, and I haven't been able to make the friends I'll probably need, and the last few days have been especially rough. We both know what's ahead, and it will probably be better than our worst fears but still worse than our hopes.
I hate the next part.

Give us a call. We dealt with very similar issues - in fact, are to some extent still dealing with them.

I empathize with you brother. It is a strange thing moving away from the environment we were in together in Chicago. You are ALWAYS welcome to call if you want to talk!
