MUST BE NICE

As I sit at the Calgary Airport, waiting to head to the US for a week of study leave, I am conscious of what a privilege it is to be able to do what I do. The other day, I was mentioning to some people I know outside of church circles that I had this study time coming up. The response was: "must be nice!" It is. I am grateful to serve a vocation that values life long learning; that believes in rejuvenation and rest as part of the learning process.

I know that I can become a better minister as I take advantage of opportunities to challenge my heart, mind and soul.

Thanks be to God. Now it's time to board!
