On Sunday morning we’ll be talking about the 4th commandment…honoring the sabbath.  And then afterwards, Liz & I are hoping on a plane to New Orleans for an extended, 3-day sabbath.  We are taking one computer so that we can video chat with the kids each day while we are gone, but there’ll be no work…no email…and no phone calls from people other than our kids or the people watching them (my parents)!

So why are we going to New Orleans?  Besides to rest & hang out. Remember the big storm in February 07, when Jet Blue stranded tons of people in NYC?  Well, we were two of those people. And in addition to refunding the cost of the tickets, they also gave us vouchers for two more tickets…

And as crazy as it was trying to figure out how we were going to get from NYC to Ithaca without a car…a 3-day trip to New Orleans with nothing to do makes up for it pretty well.

What about Bob?

I grew up in Western New York and have started and led missional church planting efforts for a little over 30 years. As you might gather, I have opinions about the church, and I share some of them here.

Time Person of the Year

Last year M & I both guessed correctly who the person of the year would be. I figured we'd take a stab at it again this year. When I asked her who she would pick, I was impressed that her top two picks were "Biden or Dolly Parton." And then she settled on Dolly...
