Back From Vacation

This past week I was on vacation with my family at Pelee Island in Canada. I didn't have internet or phone access there, so it was very relaxing to just get away from everything for a week. I feel rested and ready to jump back into urban ministry in Pittsburgh! I read a couple good books while I was on vacation, Heaven by Randy Alcorn and The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen. I strongly recommend both books because they help to put life and God's love into perspective. I'm sure I'll be sharing some thoughts on these books in future blog posts. This is shaping up to be a great summer!
