A time away

I hear of all the other folks who are busy, busy, busy with work and such and preparations for the Christmas Event. (Yes, even the folks who have chosen not to have church on Sunday, December 25th) We want to take time away. That is good. Today I go to do just that with some clergy friends, not to get away from work...after all we do talk about lectionary study. This is great time. We visit, refresh and debate...all good stuff in my book. So I don't really get away from work. But, the kicker is that I do get away from the church, the phone (it doesn't receive much up there) and I get to go back to the mountains that I so dearly love.
Peace,
