Summer Sabbatical

Today I begin my summer sabbatical. I was greeted with a double rainbow! I am blessed to have this time away every summer to refill my cup. I plan to read many books, the first being Tolkien’s, Fellowship of the Ring. I look forward to some writing, time in nature, trying new recipes, and setting tables for family and friends. Following Kate Bowler’s recommendation I am going to: “Sing to Joy: Come Find Me!”
Last Sunday, I preached a sermon entitled, “The Rollercoaster Ride of Life,” which I hope will offer some refreshment for your spirit. Listen here.
I will post from my adventures on my instagram. I am working on a creative refresh of my blog over at Substack. Stay tuned!
Have a blessed summer!
