Funny, moving, spiritually profound - great stuff. Have fun. :-)

Mine comes with each summer when the homeschooling books are shelved and I have time to read poetry, write poetry, read books on contemplative prayer and even practice it once in a while, love on my kids but also let them alone to climb trees, bike around town with friends, and sleep in the treehouse every night. And spend a couple of hours writing each day, something I never get to do during the school year with co-op classes and online courses to teach, plus my own four kids to home school. And lots of time praying the Divine Hours and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.... And practice silence as much as a mom of four can do. Blessings to you on your sabbatical!

I will be praying that your current changes become satisfying and life-giving during this sabbatical. Regards #5: how many members of your regiment are helping you eat? (Sorry, I could have resisted, but I would have pulled something). Michael: My last sabbatical changed my life.

I just found "Boarhead's Tavern" and read "the Whole Story". Wow. A Sabbatical seems like a wonderful idea. When in Louisville, make sure you have your camera and guitar. Maybe you and I could have prayer time with those, some good coffee, find you a good used bookstore or two and support each other's ministry frustrations via prayer with our sovereign God. In His Word, Scott Great list. I just found “Boarhead’s Tavern” and read “the Whole Story”. Wow.
