Sabbatical was great!  Having time to rest and play and make music and new friends…All my colleagues who have taken sabbaticals didn’t lie:  the last four months have renewed me as nothing else ever has.

…which means that I am ready to get back to work.  REALLY ready to get back to work!  I love my calling, I love my job, I love the people with whom I serve, I love the work of doing whatever we can to share God’s love with others.  I can’t wait to get back in the swing of things!

There’s SO MUCH to share.  If I shared it all right now, though, it’d be another four months before I got back to work.  So for now, let me just quote T. S. Eliot…

“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”  

Amen!
