Some really like it here. Others moved away in search of a way and means to make a living, look for adventure or just because moving looked like it was fun. Some are glad they moved away from home. Others are still lonesome for that place they grew up, still others are living in that same place they grew up and now have pains, or joy, at the sight of seeing that place change. Maybe it is the same.
People move, people die, people are born, and people a part of life.
Whatever your point of view, you are here for good reason. But the truth for us is in the fact that we must go where we are guided to go. I am appointed a year at a time by our Bishop. I lived in Indiana, growing up in Michigan, then on to Missouri, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Washington DC, all over Europe, back to Michigan, Ohio, Indiana again, and finally to U. P., and all over Lower Michigan. God seems to find ways and reasons to uproot us, removing us from our comfort zones, and move our witness to other places.
