My sabbatical is officially over with. So grateful to our team for holding down the fort. The truth is, we don’t skip a beat when I’m gone! That is a big time blessing because it means I can get away and not lose an ounce of energy worrying about things.

I spent the last day of my sabbatical at the National Cathedral. One of my favorite places in DC. Love praying there. And there is something about the observation gallery that expands my vision for this city. I honestly feel like I need another month to really recalibrate, but I’m grateful for the month I got. I’m not sure I received any new revelation. I was simply reminded that I need to “do the things I did at first.” You never outgrow the basics. And you always have to reestablish boundaries and priorities and disciplines.
