Sabbatical report #2

7/13/2011

0 Comments

 
Bobbi and I have been away from you all for three weeks (the kids were at CBC this Sunday).  And those three weeks have been very full and have gone by quickly. Here’s a brief list of what’s been going on during this sabbatical: three kids have been to Bible camp; we’ve been gone, then back home, then gone again; I’ve coached soccer; Bobbi and I celebrated 15 years of marriage; I’ve enjoyed steady reading, thinking, writing and praying; we’ve worked on home projects and more home projects.

We’ve attended three different churches (two in Green Bay and one in Kingsford, MI) and have enjoyed sitting together as a family under the proclamation of God’s authoritative Word. We do miss you all and pray for you regularly.

I’ve been able to give time to two things that are of highest priority and importance, but can easily be neglected: abiding with Christ and family life.  I must say that both of these have such a great reward when time, thought, and energy are given to them. Conversely, when they are neglected, those relationships stop thriving and can become distant. 

I’ve also really been thinking about and strategizing over efficiency in my time and resources. What I mean is that I have not been very good at organizing my life and often find myself overwhelmed. It has been profitable to evaluate and see where I must make changes.  Pray with me that one result of my sabbatical is better ordered and more efficient life.

We’ll be leaving town again this evening and won’t be back until Sunday or Monday.  I trust you are continually experiencing and delighting in our God of all grace and love. 

You are loved!
