In less than a week the sabbatical will be complete.
It's been a wonderful time, yet November 1 marks the return to "real" life.
I am ready. I'm eager to return to my work, to see my colleagues, to practice my vocation, to rediscover the routine of ministry with all the requisite responsibilities and stresses along the way.
The best part of the last four months has been spending quality time with Deb. Having weekends and evenings is a rare treasure which we've enjoyed enormously. We've also loved the time with our larger families. And, needless to say, all the trips and classes have enhanced us beyond anything we imagined.
Thanks for supporting us in this and being a part of it.
We'll have just a few more posts in the blog, the last of which will be a sermon I'll preach at the traditional service on November 11 and the contemporary service on November 18.
The gist of it is this - how whacky and wonderful and precious families are and how the practice of love (as difficult as that may be) is an important exercise of faith and an avenue to the transcendent God.
Enjoy these beautiful Indian Summer days.
