I have just returned from a couple of weeks of vacation, then meetings with Dr. Porter and my North Central Region DS colleagues. It was a restful and refreshing time. I am back in the “saddle” and looking forward to a great fall. While on vacation, I did quite a bit of reading. Besides a couple of John Grisham novels, I was excited to read Henry Nouwen’s The Way of the Heart. This is a great read on Solitude, Silence and Prayer. I am currently reading The Return of the Prodigal Son, also by Nouwen. This is a book that I strongly encourage you to read. I think you will find it to be well written and very interesting. You will never look at the story of the Prodigal Son the same again.
Also, the tide is continuing to rise in regards to new congregations. Soon I will be announcing some of the developments. They are truly exciting!! Don’t lose the dream of assembly! You can start a new congregation….
Thanks for all you are doing for the Kingdom. Good things are happening.
ps. I am trying to collect the full works of Henry Nouwen. If you have some books of his you would like to sell, please let me know. Thanks
