Only a month later than planned, I had some reflections about my summer vacation. I had these thoughts while I was on the plane. Today I am going to talk about my return to the old town, sharing the memories with the kids, repatriating my dogs ashes back to their home and how that effected me. It was cathartic and I am glad we did it.Learn more at https://altf4.co

After putting out a podcast week after week and then all of a sudden to go silent, it is strange. I will admit that I think about it a lot, but time, time, time. And even then, what to say? If there was something important to say, I would probably make the time. With me trying to stay out of politics and living in boxes, what the most important thing to do is actually survival to the next phase.Learn more at https://altf4.co

This is a special edition of the podcast. We are coming to finally close on our house, selling it to new owners this week. I wanted to make sure that the history that I knew it was documented and passed on. Yes, there are some facts but it is largely about how this house was part of our lives and how we changed the house as a result. One hour is not enough time to cover over twenty years of life.As I listened to the playback, I realized that there were a couple of mistakes or omissions. I am OK with that as this is always an imperfect effort but the gist is there. What I want to convey the most is that this was a place of life, giving and growth. I won't lie that I got a little choked up at the end. It is the closing of a chapter, the longest place we ever lived, the place where our kids were born and grew up and left.Once the house is no longer ours, I have no right to comment or critique the decisions that others make. I do want to say that the house was an integral part of Altf4.co; arguably the most important element. I do hope that the love we gave and vice versa goes forward for generations to come. Good luck to the new family, may you be blessed as we have.Learn more at https:\\altf4.co

In case you are wondering, it is not a coincidence that our current book is Surprised By Joy by C.S. Lewis. That is because it is the holy season. I was hoping to end it here but clearly I got hung up in my own life and so we just got started. Nevertheless, today I make an argument for the true Christian holiday and the hope of eternal salvation.Learn more at https://altf4.co.

Last week was an emotional one. We were supposed to be moving and then we weren't. I have to admit that I have no idea what to do. The safest thing is to continue preparing to move without any real guarantee that it is going to happen. I am taking you down with me this week.Learn more at https://altf4.co.
