“You could travel on ten thousands miles and still stay where you are.”

I am not in existential crisis like the video might indicate, but offer the video as a nod to Johanna (whom I recently discovered shares an appreciation for Harry Chapin.)
Starting today, I will be entering into a furlough-induced vacation/ holiday weekend.  And I’m going to take the full break, and not just some weisure time.

I’m officially off-blog (facebook, twitter, etc.) until Wednesday, May 27 when I will return to the office. Everyone has a need to rest, reflect, and work towards preventing themselves becoming that “bright good morning voice who’s heard but never seen . . . Feeling all of forty-five (actually 51), going on fifteen.”
As with previous furlough days, please join me in remembering our ministry brethren who are facing financial hardships in your prayers this weekend.
