Summertime

It has been a little while since my last post.  I am really looking forward to the summertime.  I am so thankful for seasons.

In the church all of us have our busy seasons.  As a preaching pastor my busy season is September through May.  With a week break after Christmas to gear up for a great winter.  Then the summer comes and though we still do some fun activities it is nice to slow down and breathe for 3 months.  But, by the time late August comes I am ready to get back into the groove and go all out again.

I enjoy ministry and the church very much.  Yet, I find that I need restoration and my family needs to see me most nights with them for a season rather than dragging them with me or leaving them behind.  I think that God desires rest into even the most profound schedule.  We all need it and will be better off if we take it!
