Back to work

So, it's back to work today after three months away. It's a strange feeling, wondering what I'm going to find. I guess today will be fairly quiet, although I've already had a 'phone call and a couple of emails to deal with. 

Because of the way I structured my sabbatical, or rather didn't structure it, I'm not coming back with fresh vision or lots of new ideas. But I'm also aware that there are things that I'm probably more ready to reflect upon now that I've had some time away and a good rest to boot. 

So I'm back. Sermons to write, celebrations to plan, mission to envision and encourage. But first the dentist!
