I am discovering that decompression and relaxation don't come naturally for me. It shall take a few days...or perhaps a dozen.
The extended family left this afternoon and the cottage is quiet for the first time since arrival. It is not an altogether welcomed quiet as I know that it shall be quite some time before I see my brother again, and when that reunion occurs it will likely be in Argentina.
After "good-byes" I settled in again with Earl Creps and his book on missional leadership. If interested in acquainting yourself with this author, visit his blog/site at http://www.earlcreps.com/article/off-road-discipline-infomercial . I chose this work first from my "box of books" basically because I like the cover. But it's proving to be a great read.
I see that at least a few folks are visiting this blog. Thanks for sharing the journey!

I'll be curious to see your opinion of Leadership and The New Science, and The Emerging Church...I had very different reactions to these two books. I'd actually read Wheatley's book back when I was at St. Paul's.
It's not nearly as heady as these tomes, but I'd also encourage you to pick up Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion by Sara Miles. A fascinating study of when a really sold-out believer hits a church - even an on-the-edge church.
Man, it looks like beautiful country up there...
Tomorrow will be our first Sunday without you-we will miss you! Hope that the relaxation piece will start to fall into place soon...
