The Return of the Blog!

The Blog is back!  I occasionally make use of the blog for special projects---summer reading, Lenten Videos, Special Events--and I will return to the Blogosphere during my upcoming Sabbatical (May 11 - August 10).   This wont be a travel narrative, but a place for me to share some of my thoughts and insights while I take this time of renewal.  Special thanks to the Lily Endowment for Clergy Renewal at Christian Seminary and the people and leadership of Our Savior's Lutheran Church, San Clemente!

The clip to the left is a good metaphor for Sabbatical.  It's often hard to balance the needs of ministry with one's personal needs for study, prayer and renewal.  Occasionally (every 7 years) it's good to let go!  Thank you Pickles and Andrew for the clip!
