I got back from backpacking on Saturday night and today is my first full day of work. I enjoyed hiking very much. I saw some beautiful country and was with some dear loved ones. I was even surprised by a birthday party that my son and his wife arranged. As I sit back at my office desk I realize again that God has indeed been good to me in so many ways. Being home feels good and once again I thank God for being able to be a minister in a congregation that is loving and kind. Truly there is no place like home.
