on the walk

I am recovering from a long blogging hiatus. My apologies to my faithful readers. Offline life has been delightfully busy lately and has consequently left little time for blogging. The end of the year has particular demands that always coincide with the demands of shopping and travel preparations. Right now, my family is traveling in Tennessee for Christmas which is always a wonderful time of relaxation with family and friends, and it this year included the opportunity to worship at Grandview Christian Church in Johnson City. Betsy and I served on staff their for almost ten years and it was good to catch-up with old friends.

Our time with family was so fulfilling.  I know that time with family can be stressful, and our celebrations this year had some stress, but I know that I am blessed because, without fail, being with my family inspires and encourages me. I think better, and have time to think in different ways.  I can juggle and throw a ball with my brother, I tell stories with my cousins and catch up on life with my parents.

I expect that more many weeks to come my writing will be informed by my reflections as I spent time in Tennessee.

I hope that your time over this holiday has been equally enriching.
