Back from Vacation

I am back from vacation with my family to Massachusetts. We had a good time though the ride there and back was not so hot. The ride was not so bad because of the children, though they had their moments, but because of the traffic. Leaving to go north on a Sunday afternoon is just an invitation to be sitting in traffic. Coming home we hit downpours in Connecticut and over the GW Bridge that slowed things up.

One of the values of vacation, apart from having extended time with family and time to relax, is that a change in venue renews one's vision. So many times, in the day to day grind, we become too focused and locked in and we lose effectiveness in so many areas of our lives. A vacation helps us to renew, revive, and focus once again. God called vacation Sabbath and commands it!
