For the next four weeks, this blog will rest and so will this writer. 
I am taking two weeks vacation and two weeks study leave. During this time, I’m going to be away from the blog, as well as Twitter and Facebook. The next post on this blog will be July 25.
I am thankful to all of you who read these posts. Some of you have been reading this blog since it began seven years ago. I don’t take this for granted.
The intention here is always to be encouraging. Sometimes the topic is directed to particular concerns or to people in stages of life. At least once a week, the posts are written with ministers and other church leaders in mind.
There are many, many blogs available.
I am thankful that you come here.
Thank you, Jim — for your example and wisdom and ministry.
God continue to bless you, friend…
All’s grace,
Ann
