If you are not embarrassed by at least some of what you said and believed at 17 or 18 then you haven't grown since you were 17 or 18.

🔌 NEW: A #church in South #Sacramento installed two #ev chargers in its parking lot.
Students from underserved backgrounds built them through a paid green #jobs training program backed by federal and foundation funding. Pastor Les Simmons ties the project to #community stewardship. The new chargers serve local residents, and the students gained useful career skills.

Empty Nest… Again
We became empty nesters in 2021 when my step son left for college. My step daughter is two years older and she left for college in 2019. She finished her undergrad in 2023 and went to work at the same University in a research lab. My step son finished his under grad in 2025 and started grad school the next semester.
Also in 2025 my step daughter’s contract with the research lab finished. It was time for her to move on. Grad school was next, but she did not yet have anything lined up. She was going to need some time to work everything out so she moved back home temporarily and for a while we were no longer empty nesters.
Like I said though, it was temporary and today is the day that it ends. Next weekend we are flying out to California to help her move into her new University housing. About an hour ago she left the house so she can spend the rest of this week at her dad’s. He isn’t going out to CA right away so she’s going to spend some time with him while she can.
So technically speaking, she hasn’t actually moved out yet. That will happen, strictly speaking, on Saturday. Still… she won’t be back here until Saturday morning and that will just be to meet up with me and her mother for the drive to the airport.
So now we’re back to being empty nesters again. We also have to deal with the mixed feelings that come with it. On the one hand, she’s moving to southern California to start a PHD program. How awesome is that? She’s about to go through an amazing experience. I can’t wait to see what she does next, and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for her. She is incredible and she is going to do incredible things. At the same time, I don’t want her to go. My wife and I are really sad right now. We miss her already.
I am going to focus on the positives and try to just be excited for her. I don’t know if I can cheat myself that way, but I am going to try.

Conflicted
I am conflicted and I always get into this state when the kids are involved.
When my step daughter moved away to college in 2019 I was conflicted. On the one hand, I wanted her to go away to school and have a fantastic experience and learn a ton and make new friends and start her life and have everything be amazing. On the other hand I wanted her to stay home with us forever.
Two years later when my step son went away to college it was the same thing. I wanted him to go to school and have the time of his life and learn incredible things and have adventures and excitement and make memories that would last a lifetime while also not wanting him to leave us, ever.
In May of 2025 my step daughter moved home. She graduated and worked a two year contract at the University. When the contract ended she came home to live with us while she figured out her next move. The next move was grad school, but she had to work out the details. It took a little more than a year, but next month she is going to start school in California.
I am so excited for her I could burst… again… just like 2019. Just like my step son in 2021. I fear I might spontaneously combust out of excitement for her future. She’s going to finish grad school with a PHD and then every time I see her I will ask her, “what’s up, doc?” and it will be epic and no one will ever get tired of that stupid Bugs Bunny joke and we will always laugh and it will be perfect.
Also, I don’t want her to move. I mean, I thought moving from Massachusetts to Vermont was bad… California? No way!
She’ll still be here for a few more weeks, but the next milestone in the moving process happened today…

It’s time to start packing. I’m excited and sad at the same time, but what else is new?

Abschied aber kein Lebewohl – A farewell, but not goodbye forever
(English below)
Am Pfingstmontag, 25.5.2026, fanden in unserer St. Concordia-Kirche zu Ruhla zwei Verabschiedungen im Gottesdienst statt.
In einer feierlichen Zeremonie wurde zunächst die Kantorkatechetin verabschiedet. Sie hat 20 Jahre lang mit Kindern und Familien gearbeitet und war zudem für die Kirchenmusik verantwortlich. Doch nachdem sie vor 25 Jahren in den Ruhestand getreten war, hat sie noch ein Vierteljahrhundert die Orgel bei Gottesdiensten, Hochzeiten, Trauerfeiern etc. gespielt. Dafür wurde ihr vom Superintendent des Kirchenkreises herzlich gedankt und ihr Engagement gewürdigt.Die zweite Verabschiedung galt Pfarrer Reuther, der nach 22 Jahren Dienst in Ruhla Ende Juni 2026 in den Ruhestand geht.
Auch wenn sein Dienst in Ruhla endet, bedeutet das nicht das Ende des Bildungsprojekts in Ruanda! Der Ökumenische Eine-Welt-Kreis bleibt weiterhin bestehen und wird das Projekt in der gewohnten Weise fortführen. Mehr noch, Pfarrer Reuther bleibt Mitglied des Eine-Welt-kreises und wird die Leitung des Projekts behalten.Beide Ruheständler hatten sich von den Besuchern und Gästen des Verabschiedungsgottesdienstes gewünscht, daß sie auf Geschenke verzichten, dafür aber eine Spende zu geben. Dafür hatten sie zwei Zwecke vorgegeben. Ein Zweck davon war unser Bildungsprojekt in Ruanda und wir sind dankbar für alle Spenden in Höhe von rund 800 Euro, die für unser Ruanda-Projekt gespendet wurden.
On Whit Monday, 25 May 2026, two farewells took place during the service at our St Concordia Church in Ruhla.
In a solemn ceremony, the cantor-catechist was first bid farewell. She had worked with children and families for 20 years and was also responsible for church music. However, after retiring 25 years ago, she continued to play the organ for another quarter of a century at church services, weddings, funerals and other occasions. The superintendent of the church district expressed his heartfelt thanks to her and paid tribute to her dedication.The second farewell was for Pastor Reuther, who is retiring at the end of June 2026 after 22 years of service in Ruhla.
Even though his ministry in Ruhla is coming to an end, this does not mean the end of the education project in Rwanda! The Ecumenical One World Circle will continue to exist and will carry on the project in the usual way. What is more, Pastor Reuther will remain a member of the One World Circle and will continue to lead the project.Both retirees had asked the visitors and guests at the farewell service to refrain from bringing gifts and instead to make a donation. They had specified two causes for this. One of these was our education project in Rwanda, and we are grateful for all the donations totalling around 800 euros that were made to our Rwanda project.

That was a Rough Week
I’m still not ready to write about the reason behind all of the insanity last week. It’s not really my story to tell. Suffice to say I drove about 100000000 miles over the last 10 days or so.
First, I was off on Friday May 1st. That day we learned that my step son’s girlfriend had an issue that needed immediate attention. She goes to school in Burlington, VT but her family lives near Detroit, MI. On Saturday May 2nd my wife and I drove from Methuen, MA to Burlington (about three hours) to pick up both kids and drive them back to our house.
On Sunday May 3rd I drove them both to Logan Airport in Boston (about 40–50 minutes or so) so she could catch a flight to Michigan. Then immediately I drove my step son back to Burlington (3.5 hours or so) and after dropping him off at his apartment I drove straight home (three hours).
On Monday May 4th I went to work, then on Tuesday May 5th I had the day off. I was supposed to be taking my wife to a doctors appointment but that fell through. I was also supposed to pick up my step daughter at Logan Airport. She was on a trip to California. Turns out her flight didn’t land until 10:00pm so it wouldn’t have interfered with work. It did mean I didn’t get home until super late which made Wednesday morning rough.
On Wednesday May 6th I worked from home and as soon as I punched out for the day my wife and I jumped in the car and drove to Burlington, VT again. We picked up my step son and then drove further North, crossing the border into Quebec. We immediately went to a hotel and went to sleep.
On Thursday May 7th we did some major driving. We drove all the way to Lapeer, MI. It was about 9–10 hours. Almost all of it on highways in Canada. When we arrived we brought my step son to where his girlfriend was and my wife and I got to meet some of her family. Most notably, we got to meet her 18 month old niece who was absolutely adorable. After that we went back to the hotel and crashed.
On Friday May 8th we spent almost the entire day just being there for the kids as they went through everything the family needed to get through. My wife and I were distantly on the periphery, but my step son was more involved. In the late afternoon my wife and I excused ourselves for a while. We drove about an hour North in the hopes of seeing a Great Lake (Huron) up close but when we got to the spot we were looking for you couldn’t actually see the lake. You could see little canals running into it, but not the lake itself. We did catch a glimpse from the highway at one point though. That will have to do.
Saturday May 9th was the super crazy day that just sucked the life right out of all of us. We drove home. We crossed into Ontario again and then headed East. We crossed back into the US at Niagara, NY and from there drove home to Methuen. I think it was about 11 hours on the road. We were toast.
On Sunday May 10th my step daughter cooked a Mothers Day brunch for my wife, which was lovely, and we all just decompressed a little from the insanity of the week. Eventually we drove my step son to a bus stop in Manchester, NH (about half an hour away) and he took that home to Burlington. I went grocery shopping and then proceeded to flake out for the rest of the day. I needed the rest.
Now it is Monday May 11th and I am in the office (an hour drive from home) and it’s not even 11:00am and I am already pretty desperate to go home and go back to sleep. What a crazy week. Just… wow.

Rückblick und Ausblick zum (Un)Ruhestand – A look back and a look ahead at active retirement
(English below)
Nach über 40 Jahren ist es soweit: ich gehe demnächst in den Ruhestand. Aber die Arbeit des Ökumenischen Eine-Welt-Kreises für unser Bildungsprojekt in Ruanda geht weiter!
Ich werde dem Eine-Welt-Kreis weiterhin angehören und die Leitung des Projekts fortführen.
Gleichwohl ist diese Zäsur Gelegenheit gewesen, zurück und auch nach vorn zu schauen. Dazu hatte ich Gelegenheit, im Radio ein längeres Interview (Das Ruanda-Projekt, Autor: Djuana Mannel) zu geben und ich lade Sie ein, dieses mit Hilfe dieses Links anzuhören. Die musikalischen Einlagen wurden in diesem Podcast entfernt. Die ausführliche Sendung mit Liedern unserer Patenkinder wird zu folgenden Terminen beim Wartburgradio wiederholt: 12.05. 10-11.15 Uhr; 16.05. 15-16.15 Uhr; 18.05. 16-17.15 Uhr
After more than 40 years, the time has come: I am retiring soon. But the work of the Ecumenical One World Circle on our educational project in Rwanda continues!
I will remain a member of the One World Circle and continue to lead the project.
Nevertheless, this turning point has been an opportunity to look back and also to look ahead. I had the chance to give a longer interview on the radio (Das Ruanda Projekt, author: Djuana Mannel – in German only) and I invite you to listen to it via this link, in case you understand German. The musical interludes have been removed from this podcast. The full programme, featuring songs by our sponsored children, will be repeated on Wartburg Radio on the following dates: 12 May, 10.00–11.15 am; 16 May, 3.00–4.15 pm; 18 May, 4.00–5.15 pm (German only)Translated with http://www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Grundschüler – Kinderrechte – Weltgebetstag – Primary school pupils – Children’s rights – World Day of Prayer

Anfang März veranstaltete die Evangelische Grundschule in Eisenach eine Projektwoche zum jährlich stattfindendenen weltweiten Weltgebetstag. Dazu erreichte uns folgender kleiner Berichte der Schuldirektorin:„Im Rahmen unserer Projektwoche zum Weltgebetstag haben die Kinder unserer Evangelischen Grundschule Eisenach einen besonderen Gottesdienst gestaltet, der ganz im Zeichen von Gemeinschaft, Verantwortung und globalem Lernen stand. Im Mittelpunkt standen dabei Kinder aus Nigeria, Ruanda und vielen weiteren Teilen der Welt.
Die Schülerinnen und Schüler setzten sich intensiv mit den Kinderrechten auseinander. Themen wie das Recht auf sauberes Wasser, auf Bildung und auf Freizeit wurden nicht nur theoretisch erarbeitet, sondern auch kreativ und persönlich reflektiert. Dabei wurde deutlich, wie unterschiedlich die Lebensbedingungen von Kindern weltweit sind – und gleichzeitig, wie viel wir voneinander lernen können.Besonders wichtig war den Kindern ein positiver und wertschätzender Blick auf das Leben von Gleichaltrigen in anderen Ländern. Sie entdeckten Gemeinsamkeiten, entwickelten Verständnis für Unterschiede und erkannten, wie wertvoll Solidarität und gegenseitige Unterstützung sind.
Der liebevoll gestaltete Gottesdienst in der Annenkirche (in Eisenach) bot Raum für Gedanken, Gebete und Beiträge der Kinder, die ihre Eindrücke und Erkenntnisse auf vielfältige Weise zum Ausdruck brachten.Die im Rahmen des Gottesdienstes gesammelte Kollekte von 228 Euro kommt dem Patenschaftsprogramm in Ruanda zugute und unterstützt unser Patenkind Dina und andere Kinder auf ihrem Weg zu einem selbstbestimmten Leben.“
At the beginning of March, the Protestant Primary School in Eisenach organised a project week to mark the annual World Day of Prayer. We received the following brief report from the headteacher:„As part of our project week for the World Day of Prayer, the children at our Protestant Primary School in Eisenach organised a special service centred on community, responsibility and global learning. The focus was on children from Nigeria, Rwanda and many other parts of the world.
The pupils engaged intensively with the topic of children’s rights. Issues such as the right to clean water, education and leisure were not only explored theoretically, but also reflected upon creatively and personally. It became clear just how different children’s living conditions are around the world – and at the same time, how much we can learn from one another.It was particularly important to the children to take a positive and appreciative view of the lives of their peers in other countries. They discovered commonalities, developed an understanding of differences and recognised how valuable solidarity and mutual support are.
The lovingly organised service at St Anne’s Church (in Eisenach) provided a space for thoughts, prayers and contributions from the children, who expressed their impressions and insights in a variety of ways.The collection of 228 euros taken during the service will go towards the sponsorship programme in Rwanda, supporting our sponsored child Dina and other children on their journey towards a self-determined life.“
