Good morning TH and thanks for asking.

For 26 years I lived on a high floor of the tallest residential building south of Atlanta, in Miami. When the hurricanes came, the building would sway.
I remember being on my knees beside the bed, the first time. There was no utility in doing so. It was just instinctual

When I began my ministry full time, about 4 years ago, I sold my condo home. I would be on the road 80% of the time if I did it right, so I made myself uncomfortable. No place to go nest. Go out and do it!

The hotels were disappointing for a variety of reasons and I needed an occasional break from my RV so I've been renting the first floor of a beautiful, large southern cracker home in Miami from a long time acquaintance. Think a Hemingway home with all the wood trim and floors, heavy yard plantings and cats.

We could not be more unlike in some ways- she an ultra liberal Bronx Jewish studio 54 era single women, me a devout Irish catholic conservative from Boston. She lives upstairs and somehow we've got along for years.

I'm her foil. She'll say, "yeah, your Trumpy……"- fill in the blank, something awful. Or, "your Fox News...".
I've mastered the art of changing her train of thought

It's a solid wood frame home with a stone foundation and plenty of canopy. She has an Evangelical Columbian caretaker who lives in a buildling out back who puts up the storm shutters, etc for her.

Now that I am living this life, I love getting rid of things. There's a real joy in being free of encumberences, riding the ribbons of highway across our beautiful country.
