Back from sabbatical and s-l-o-w-l-y re-entering so that I don’t lose all the good Sabbath habits from the past three months.
– I missed lots of social media birthdays. Know I love you, Summer Birthday People.
– I’m back in the office Tuesday. Have already deleted all my office emails from the past three months as I said I would need to do. If you sent me essential information from the summer, I didn’t see it and know our staff handled it if necessary.
– One of my early back-from-sabbatical goals is to figure out how to offer Sabbatical time (and funding) to all professional church staff, especially those who have never been able to have this time.
And finally – if you are eligible for a Sabbatical wherever you serve (church, academics, etc.) please take it. If you are offered one and you don’t take it, that’s on you. (No saving Sabbatical months to tack onto your retirement.)
Great to be back!
