Summer vacation is over for my kids. So, today, is the first day that all four of my kids have been in school and my wife is at work (at the school library). This means the house is empty and quiet. It seems like this summer has been very busy with camps, vacations and school (for me). Add to that VBS the 4H fair and other activities it seems like I have not had time to catch my breath.

Within all of that, this site and vision was born. I'm hoping, now that school is in session and things are a bit more scheduled in my life, that I can spend more time developing this, the UMSource.net site and also working on my research in spiritual formation.

I'm really excited about this site though. I'm learning Drupal and I hope that this turns into a place where Methodists can meet and begin the difficult work of transition to missional.
