My Un-Official Resignation from Keepville

My wife has written it after finding a 3' milk snake under our bed. It took almost 30 minutes to coax her back into the house. She is highly seriously thinking of packing on the Sabbath day. I asked her where she wanted to move and she replied "ANYWHERE!".

I'm with her. My dog had one outside and I nearly went ballistic.

Julia and I have something in common besides that our husbands' names are the same. I would react in the same way!! Maybe Ireland needs pastors--I hear there are no snakes in there!! Missy

Dear Pastor Byron,

Tonight I am thanking the Lord for "Google" and for the fact that you don't have a name like Jim Smith! The only things I remembered were "Pennsylvania", "Byron" and "Holiness"... And that turned out to be enough.

Your church website is nice and all the pictures let people know that you have what you say you have - a warm and friendly church. Your wife looks like a real sweetie and the Lord has blessed you with some beautiful kids. But I suspect you know that!

It was a blessing to meet you in Grand Rapids, and I hope our conversation didn't make you too late for the BBQ in Battle Creek.

As it turns out, your church is about ten or so miles from where one of my oldest friends just became pastor. He is the new priest at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Pageville.
I may be going to Pennsylvania at the end of the month to see a friend made a bishop, and I'll likely go to church in Pageville.

Maybe we could get together while I'm out your way?

I hope you don't really resign from Keepville and that your wife is doing okay. That would have been one dead snake if it were our house - my wife would have screamed so loud the snake would've had a heart attack!

I tried to send this to the e-mail on your church website, but it bounced.

with respect in Christ,

(Fr.) Michael from Lake Odessa
