Today was gorgeous. The cool morning cloud cover broke into an afternoon of cumulus masterworks. The air remained refreshing and dry. Evening brought with it tranquility and a textured sky at sunset that was beyond compare.

Adding to the thrill: my motorcycle will return from its tune up early next week. The following week I will head out (LORD willing) for 24 to 48 hours of unwinding, alone on the bike. This is time that is needed and strategically planned before we rush headlong into a summer of back to back events in the ministry with which we are involved.

These two days alone on the pavement will be more important than five days with 200 children, seven days in Orlando, the ten days in Bogota or the nine days spent under a fireworks tent raising money for ministry.

I'll have time to meditate on the mystery and wonder of Christ, and untangle some of the knots that daily life ties when we're not looking.
