Fourth week of sabbatical












This week we were home.  During morning prayers I spent time with the Celtic saints:  St. Melangell, St. Ninian, St. Kevin, St. Ita, and St Brendan.  During this time I reflected on the wisdom gleaned from each saint.  Our days were filled with relaxing, reading, playing games, enjoying the lake, walking the trail behind our house, and a day hike on the sub-alpine Greenlakes trial in the Cascade foothills.  On our hike we enjoyed the beauty of the Green River, lush forests, beautiful wildflowers, and the fragrant aroma of old growth forest floor. On the walking trail we discovered a labyrinth at St George Episcopal Church where I worshiped a couple of weeks ago.  The labyrinth helped enhance my sabbatical experience.  During the 4th of July weekend we enjoyed the company of Juliann and her fiance Lawrence Stewart.   It was a great week home at our retreat on Lake Wilderness.
