Christmas Vacation is Coming to an End

Wow! I had a great break!!! Enjoyed spending this
time down here in Kansas City, Missouri away from the
legitimate needs of the people in the congregation I
serve. They are a wonderful congregation, but it's
good to get away and look into the faces of the people
who make you you. Being away from my regular
responsibilities helps me to see the jewel of a wife I
have. I really see her better when I am relaxed. I
really see my son Spencer. These breaks are necessary
for me!

In just a few hours I will be boarding a plane with my
family to return to Philadelphia. Praying that I'll
learn to take furloughs even when I can't change my
geographic location so that I can still remember the
most important people in my life.
