I’m in northern Georgia right now teaching at a retreat. I found a park bench in front of this brook a few hours ago and spent some time reading, relaxing, and avoiding large flying insects. Our summer was more hectic than I had anticipated and so this time away has been great. I have been reading When People are Big and God is Small by Edward Welch and the book of Judges. My talks for the retreat have been on Idolatry so these books have provided more food for thought.
I only wish the rest of my family could be here with me right now.
