There is basket on the table which has been filling with cards from folk in the congregation, colleagues and other friends. Along with emails and the occasional phonecall they have been a source of great encouragement and comfort through the past six weeks since I began my restorative leave.
This blog has also been an opportunity to stay in touch with people far and wide. It has also reminded me that while I am not serving in the pastorate at the moment I am still a Christian, reflecting on the world I live in.
I will be away for a week or so but I will certainly return. Thanks for your thoughts along the way and God bless you.
