Day 1: It Begins!

What an awesome send-off yesterday! I appreciate every single one of you attending and praying for me! It was a very powerful experience. I was feeling uneasy about my sabbatical and there was an immediate feeling of peace afterwards.  Thank you!

Now we are off to Day 1 and I am trying to figure out what this sabbatical thing is all about.  Below are some of the goals that I have for the next 30 days:

  1. Rest and help my wife, Charlee, get rest. Her full-time job of raising a 2 ½ year old and 4 month old is probably more like 2 full time jobs! (She is just as excited as I am about this sabbatical).
  2. Reading:
    1. Wild at Heart by John Eldridge
    2. Team of Teams by General Stanley McChrystal
    3. Daily Devotional with Charlee
  3. Exercise 1 hour a day
  4. Follow a Daniel Plan type eating plan
  5. Spend quality time with my wife and kids! We plan on taking a couple of mini-vacations over the course of the next 30 days.
  6. Work with some of our employees to help them fix, update, or complete anything that they need help with around their houses.

I am looking forward to what God has in store for me through this time!
