I've had significant trouble getting my blog to upload my photos and articles as of late. I think the issue has been resolved, but time will tell. Needless to say, I am back from my sabbatical and wanted to post some reflections from the time away. However, I think I may do this over a series of posts as I have time, but not today. Today, I'm just uploading some pictures from our time away. Know that God was gracious and it was very refreshing both physically and spiritually for my family and me. We are grateful to the elders and to our local church for allowing us to be away for the month. Here are a few family photos. Substantive reflections are forthcoming.
