A few more days

It’s hard to believe that my sabbatical is almost over it has gone by so quickly.  This past week has been extremely restful and slow-paced.  I’ve spent lots of time with Jeff, completed a few home projects and finished a book called Visioneering by Andy Stanley.  This book was a perfect follow up from our recent management conference.  The book is essentially about discovering your personal vision and is written around the story of Nehemiah and his vision to rebuild Jerusalem.  Over and over throughout the book Andy Stanley repeats the phrase that a vision is something that “could be” but most importantly “should be”.  I can’t say that I have discovered what my personal vision is yet, but I am leaving myself open to whatever God puts on my heart.  This week I have also had a chance to attend some of my grandchildren’s sporting events – it was baseball on Monday, tonight its football and Saturday its soccer.  Kids sure are busy these days!
