The congregation at CRLC has granted me a sabbatical from December 1, 2008 until March 1, 2009. People have asked: Will you be posting to the blog during this time. Yes...I will.
I will continue the regular Faith Formation Blog.... but for those who are interested, I am also going to share (occasionally) what is going on with The Sabbatical. I know that in addition to the offering for the Faith Formation Blog, there will be thoughts that will emerge that are part of my own formation....thoughts that will be indications of how this sabbatical time is working within me.
I am called to serve at Christ the Redeemer ELCA, Brecksville Ohio, as Associate in Ministry, focusing upon the area of Spiritual Direction and Faith Formation. I hope to serve the people of God as an encourager, and as a compassionate listener. In many ways I am like a midwife in that I attend the birthing of what God is calling from individuals (or bestowing to them) that reflects the truth, the love and the light of Christ.
My favorite question seems to be: Where is God in all of this? How shall I (we) respond?
I enjoy serving as a Spiritual Director, a writer and a retreat leader. My style of writing and leadership is in the contemplative way. I relate naturally to God's wild ones (feather, finned and furred) and gravitate towards people and activities involved with forests, mountains or water.... especially sailing!
