Remember how thrilled you were when you packed your car to head off to college? Or the excitement you felt when you and your new wife moved from that one-bedroom apartment to a spacious 3 room flat? Or the joy of finally moving into your first house? That’s not the feeling we had today.

Moving day is an emotional experience. Usually, it’s a day that you look forward to, new surroundings, new experiences. This move for us does bring new surroundings; a small apartment, road-noise, confined urban setting, lots of people we do not know. It also brings us new experiences: walking blocks to appointments; local grocery store with boarded-up windows, parking lot 2 blocks away, sitting for hours during treatments, waiting for hours for the next day to arrive.

At home, there is always plenty to do. At our new place, we have tried to anticipate how we will pass the time; putting a puzzle together, Suzanne busily sewing while I write in this blog, well we hope to come up with some more, hopefully soon. Suzanne is really concerned that I’ll be just a caged animal pacing the floor.

We now have a new address for the next 7 weeks. Feel free to send cards & letters to Suzanne at:

Suzanne Bruns #208
IMBD Guest House

Our hope is that our next moving day on October 16th will be an exciting and joyful day!

Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.
Psalm 91:9-10
