It's Official

Rob received the official letter from the Bishop today. I was actually on my way out, in the car and everything, when I checked the mail. I saw a letter from the Diocese, turned the car around, and went inside to call Rob to see if I was allowed to open it. It reads,

Dear Robert,
With the advice of the Commission on Ministry, I am pleased to notify you that I have named you as a Postulant for Holy Orders, in the Diocese of South Carolina, effective January 18, 2007.
Faithfully Yours,
Edward L. Salmon, Jr.
Bishop of South Carolina XIII

We are even more excited, now! The next step is waiting for the Bishop to call and set up an interview to discuss seminaries. I know that it is only with God's help that Rob and I are able to be so patient. God has begun a good work in us, and we know that He will continue to affirm it. Praise God!

Blogger Debut

Hello. My name is Julie. I am a "blogaholic." There--the truth is out. I am officially guilty of "blog stalking," if there is such an offense. It's hard to describe why I am so fascinated by blogs. If I'm honest, it is something akin to the sneaky satisfaction of finding your sister's diary, pages filled, lying face-open on her bed, no one around to catch your snooping. The difference with blogs, though, is that they are meant to be read. A blog is really no more than a creative way to communicate. It's more accessible than a picture album; it's more informative than a phone call; it's more colorful than an email; it's cheaper than a letter; and it doesn't have to last as long as a visit. It's perfect, especially for long distance communication. And that's exactly why I've crossed over from a blog stalker to an official blogger. Believe it or not, the Kunes family is OFF AGAIN!!!!

More information will be forthcoming...
