August 2010
As I write this, I am getting ready to leave for vacation. By the time you read it, though, I'll probably be back home. When you ask me how it went, here's what I want to be able to tell you.
That my family and I were able to rest. That
we caught up on sleep that we've missed along the way. I've read
that you cannot catch up on missed sleep. Once it's gone, it's
gone. So
maybe we'll just start getting enough sleep and call it good.
That we were able to relax. Sit back and do nothing. Or, almost nothing. Doing nothing can make you even more sluggish, and that's not the goal.
That I was able to reflect on this past year. The good and the not so good. And to think about the next year. What do I hope for? What will I try to avoid?
I've enjoyed this year. Working with you all. But I'm also looking forward to some time off. Take care of yourselves and I'll see you when we get back.
Peace,
Pastor Ryan
