The Old Fool is at Home

Yes, it is true.  Rachel and Eldon came to Greencroft for me at 3:45 this afternoon to take me home to 18399 Northrop Drive.  Crystal has found her place at my feet beneath the computer desk.

I am trying to collect my thoughts and write some of them.  Tomorrow, “Joy” and I will go to College Mennonite Church and then return here for dinner.  On Monday, she and her daughter and a brother in law will leave for the Hesston College Home Coming and a family reunion in Nebraska.

So I will need to find fulfillment in a life without “Joy”.  Of course there are other joys that are ever present and even more enduring. I have had many thoughts that I want to put into words in the days to come.  Martin

About Martin Lehman

I was born 92 years ago, the son of a Mennonite pastor and organic gardener in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. At age 10 I was baptized as a member of the Marion Mennonite Church. I own the "Old Fool" moniker because I want to walk the Jesus Way even though the world and much of the church takes me as a fool for doing so. In my life I have moved from being a young conservative to an elderly radical. I tell that story in My Faith Journey posted on my website.
