Taking a Sabbatical

It's official. While we continue to search for a new church to be part of, today we begin a 5-week sabbatical. The kids finished school today and my leave from ministry at Cornerstone Church is transitioning into a great family adventure. Today we finalized our plans. From this Sunday, June 10th to Saturday, July 14th, we will travel to:
  • Wyoming and South Dakota for a one-week camping trip
  • Back to our home in Superior to regroup and repack for a few days
  • Out west to Utah's National Parks
  • On to Las Vegas, where we will catch a cheap flight to Hawaii
  • With a quick stop on Oahu and then 8 days on Maui
  • Back to Vegas late one night and then on to Hoover Dam the next day
  • Across Northern Arizona to drop in on the Smiley Family and visit the Grand Canyon
  • On to Northern New Mexico where we will join Megan's family for 4th of July week
  • Back East to Branson, Missouri and Table Rock Lake where we will join Scott's family for another week
  • And finally back across Kansas just in time for Bryan & Stephanie's wedding in Boulder on July 15th.
Stop back soon for updates from the road and hopefully some good photos.

It's obvious you're a "privileged" intellectual that can travel to exotic and expensive places. You display so much glee in all your glorified goings on, but do you ever stop and wonder what the average "Joe" is doing? Did you earn your way, or is the church footing the bill? Or do you have wealthy parents that supplement your pocketbook?
