Withdrawal

You know you need some time out from ministry--and life--when you haven't felt like blogging for almost a month.

We got away for a few days, courtesy of a very generous couple in our district. They believe burnout is intolerable, and so make their cabin in the Princeton area available for pastors at a nominal rate.

We slept, walked, made fires, read (I finished Bonhoeffer) and did a thousand piece jigsaw. It's reassuring to know that Jesus got away whenever he could to recharge his all-too-human batteries, and do jigsaws or the like.

Incidentally, this is not the cabin we stayed in, but an object of one of our adventures.

It was a great few days away and warmed our spirits, though Green Lake was freezing!

Now to let my blog-by-phone index finger thaw and prepare for the writing and photographing marathon ahead as 18 from LakeView explore and experience and exult in the Holy Land and her God.
