Take up your cross daily for you never know what a day may hold

No greater display of love than laying down your life for a friend

When it is in your power don't withhold good from the one that it is due.

Sabbatical

I was feeling guilty the other day thinking about going away on sabbatical. I thought how selfish to not be working, to not be with my family and then a friend gave me Wayne Cordeiro’s book “Leading on Empty.” We all need to rest. Too few of us even follow the biblical mandate for one day a week much less a sabbatical year or a monthly retreat day. We think it’s too impractical—but then so is burn out, depression, divorce, and open heart surgery. So I put some things in perspective and am now preparing my heart and my soul for renewal. Maybe it’s time for a little impractical retreat in your life.

**I will be on sabbatical May-July.**

Facebook for Christ

Facebook is a phenomenon of social networking where you can re-connect with old friends and admittedly people you vaguely remember. My wife and I have been re-connecting with friends from what seems like a lifetime ago and yet we have found some amazing relationships that we would have jettisoned had it not been for the Facebook phenomenon. I have been able to tell my ONE story and Jody has been able to share what God is doing in her life. Facebook is famous for inch-deep relationships but also for reconnecting with meaningful friendships that slipped somewhere along the way. We have decided to use each of these to influence others for Christ.
