I'm giving up being single for Lent! :D

Hello my friends. Things are going well in the land of Miller. Rebecca and I have begun planning for our wedding, which we're going to "turn around" pretty quick. In other words: our tentative date is May 21. Yeeesh. We're gonna do it, though. I know we can get it done.

As for ministry, things are going pretty well. I have a communion visit either today or tomorrow where the lady specifically asked for me, so that makes me feel good. Last night was kind of harrowing. Ash Wednesday services were at 7. I got a call from my supervisor at 5:45 saying we had a call and we needed to go. Come to find out that the brother of one of our members committed suicide, and they wanted us to accompany them to tell his mother. That was really hard, folks. Plus, we come to find out that this woman lost four close relatives in a four-year span, including her first husband to suicide. So, we spent as much time there as we could, and then hightailed it back to town for services. I also had not changed into my clerical shirt yet, so I had to run to the house to change, to my office to get my mic, and then to the front of the church to start the service. Ah, the fun of ministry. :D

I hope things are well with you all, and thanks for all the congratulations. Jared, I hope your planning is less stressful than mine will be, and I wish you the best of luck as well. God bless!

In Christ's Hope,
Christopher

Momentous Occasion!

Hi folks. You know that I haven't posted on here very frequently lately. Primarily, that's because my free time has been taken up by a wonderful woman by the name of Rebecca, who many of you know. We have been spending as much time as we can together, and we have fallen hopelessly in love. This morning, at about 4 am, she found me lying outside her door, with a sign above my head that read, "I can't sleep without you near." She woke me up, and I told her that I loved her more than anything in this world, and I asked her to marry me. She said yes! We haven't set a date or anything like that yet, but it will be fairly soon. There will be much more to come for us, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this affects my time for ministry. But folks, she's so worth it. She is the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the next 50-60 years getting to know her deeper and deeper. God bless you all! I'm gonna go smile some more! :D :D :D
