Some Personal Updates

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

I continue to generate a backlog of potential posts in the middle of my hectic life, but once again I am bailing on those potential posts to give you a brief update on things here in the Sensenig household.

First of all, I am very late in mentioning this, but several weeks ago, Christy and I (along with our son) had the great pleasure of having dinner with Brandon and Heather, long-time readers and commenters and blogging buddies. They decided to vacation up here in the Boone area, and we were able to meet them for dinner one evening. What a joy!

Heather, Brandon, Me, Christy

Even though Brandon and Heather haven’t been as active in the blogosphere for several months as they used to be, we still had lots to talk about. Our dinner together ended up being about 3 1/2 hours together, only cut short because the restaurant was closing! Thanks for a great visit, both of you, and I hope we can do it again!

My quest to meet each of my readers personally continues… ;)

Additionally, I am still waiting to have an interview scheduled at Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA. They had hoped to interview late this month, but it’s already the 24th and I still don’t have an interview date. They have assured me that they want to interview me, but I’m not sure how much longer the process will take. So, for the time being, there are no real plans to move.

I had mentioned a while ago on this blog that Christy and I were going through the process of getting licensed for foster/adoptive care. We have a separate blog that talks about that: Love Each Child. If you would like to see some recent exciting events in our lives, please go there and read this post by me, and this one by Christy. (Those of you who read Christy’s blog have already seen these links.)

Needless to say, life around here is very exciting, even though we know very little of what tomorrow will bring! ;) But I do know this: Our God is a very good god, and we feel so very blessed to be able to be His children. While many things in our future remain to be seen, we are very much at peace with the fact that God is orchestrating things that go beyond our dreams and imaginations. And we feel very blessed already.

One more little update: Several months ago, I asked for assistance in writing an article for a publication. Thank you very much to those of you who answered my request and gave suggestions. I used many of those suggestions. I am pleased to announce that within a couple of weeks, the Fall issue of the wonderful quarterly publication The Old Schoolhouse will be carrying the resulting article in their special Christmas section.

I’m very honored to be published in this magazine, one which has very quickly become perhaps the leading publication for the homeschool community. With a publication run of about 33,000 I am pleased to know that my first published article will be helping many people celebrate Christmas this year by bringing new meaning to some well-known songs.

I guess that about wraps up this personal update. Thanks for sticking around, even with the lack of regular posting here! I appreciate every one of my readers and commenters.

Until next time,

steve :)
