About this blog

Greetings all. This is a travelogue of the many journeys that are an integral part of my sabbatical. It includes trips to New York City, Holy Cross Monastery (NY), Las Vegas, England, and a monumental and hopefully enlightening trip to the Holy Land!

It is my hope that this will be a time of rest, refreshment, renewal, and a revival of the my faith. It has been a very long haul of ministry in Colorado and it is time for a sabbatical. I pray God meets me and guides me along this sacred journey.
