Sabbatical FAQ's

I'm writing this to mainly let all you faithful readers know that I am back and to kind of do a frequently asked questions about sabbatical post.  So here goes:
- Yes, it was refreshing and enjoyable.  I am very grateful to have a church that gave these six weeks off to me.
- Yes, we did miss you. We missed our church family and worship times together...ok, I'm feeling a little convicted here...we missed ALMOST ALL of you.  There that feels more honest.
- No, I did not have a colonoscopy.  Yeah, I was really disappointed about that one!  Turns out they have changed the medical protocols and I am not due for another for one until next year.  (If you want to read a blog post about a colonoscopy just go back in the list of posts and you will find one from a few years ago).
- Yes, I got some things done out at my parent's old place out in the country.  No, I did not get everything done but I did enough to find out that I never will get it all done and I am at peace with that.
- No, I did not get a good answer in my search for "What is a weekend?"  I think you have to be working a job Monday through Friday to really understand that one - which obviously, I was not.  Maybe preachers are not supposed to understand weekends.
- Yes, it is good to be back.  I don't have any great profound truths about life except that it is good to step away from things for an extended time.  It gives you a renewed perspective on things and fresh start to them as well.
- And finally, yes, I am looking forward to seeing you Sunday.

for the journey...
