Food for Thought. . .

 As a prelude to this Sunday’s presentation on my sabbatical, I offer the following slide show.  (You may want to use it if you are not able to attend the gathering this Sunday, as the screen may be difficult to see via livestream.)  Here is the link: Sabbatical 2022  

Without any background or context, the images are probably not that engaging (other than the beauty of the mountains and other images of nature).  Certainly, the bulleted items at the end of the presentation will not mean much.  I hope that by listening in, the images and phrases may take on a little of the life that I received from them.  Four months is a long time.  Four months is, also, not even a quark in the drop in a bucket.  Yet, I suppose of all the things that I encountered over this sabbatical, one that stands out is that I had space and time to notice things.  I wasn’t planning for another event, writing another sermon, planning a future gathering.  I had time to listen, notice, and observe.
