As this week begins and you are reading this, my Sabbatical renewal leave enters week three and takes a bit of a different turn.  We’ve done a little traveling each weekend (all family oriented). This week will be a special getaway for just Mrs. Sweetie and me.  We will have four days of relaxing and enjoying some beautiful scenery in a part of the country where we’ve never been. My particular challenge is to really rest and enjoy and to not try to pack too much activity in.

This week’s book (unless I’m still caught up in one of the other ones) is Out of the House of Bread: satisfying your hunger for God with the spiritual disciplines (Preston Yancey).  Sitting and reading in a beautiful location will definitely be part of this week’s agenda.  We’ll make it home just in time for the wedding of a young lady who is special to us.

I have a question: If you could visit any place in the world that you haven’t visited before, where would it be?  How would you ensure that you took adequate time to really see it, and not just blow past on the way to the next stop?

We are cultivating a Kingdom-focused culture of engaging churches.

How can we sow seeds of transformation into your local church?
