One of the phrases that has been uttered around our house as of late has been "finding a new equilibrium." What I mean is that we are adjusting to new schedules, new responsibilities, new rhythms throughout the week. I imagine this will take some time. I also believe the words of a favorite seminary professor who said, "Because the deck of life is always shifting, balance will never be more than momentary synchronicity." One of the rhythms that I don't want to lose is my time with Heather and the girls. If I start a church but neglect them in the whole process then I have really failed. I am trying to keep this before me, which has been harder the past two weeks. That's why yesterday was so good. My sister was in town for work, staying at Disney, and so I took the afternoon off and spent it with the family. We drove to the Disney hotel (which interestingly enough was the first time either of our kids had ever been on Disney property), hung out with my sister and the girls got to swim and play all afternoon. Sure the two year old was melting down on the drive home, but it was still good to be together. Yesterday was a good to day to reclaim some of the neglected sabbath time over the past couple of weeks. I'll leave you with a couple pics. Peace.
