Remember the Sabbath & Keep it Holy

As I compose this theme, I am about to embark upon my Sabbatical (a word that comes from the same root as “Sabbath” ), having very little idea of how I will experience this time apart.  I am excited, nervous, and expecting the unexpected—knowing that there will be challenges and gifts, both-- which will serve to further my growth as a spirit “being human,” and as a minister.  In my first week back I will share with you some of the gifts and “growth opportunities” from this time I have promised to “keep holy.”
