I have spent time on a fishing boat in doing circles in Newport Bay till everyone got organized for the blessing of the fleet, (the analogy of herding cats is very much in order here). I have spent time in a small logging town in the coastal range listening to people struggling to keep their way of life in a time when logging is disappearing and farming is getting too competitive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This coming Sunday, I will serve as guest preacher to two yoked congregations in a Northern California farming community.
