Taking pictures is therapeutic for me. I haven't been posting any pictures for the simple reason that I haven't been taking very many. Completing this chaplain residency program, looking for jobs, and preparing for ordination has been all consuming. Thankfully, we were on a chaplain retreat yesterday that was conveniently located by some wonderful hiking trails that Sarah, the kids, and I visited last summer. It was good to hike and take pictures. I was reminded not to miss the beauty all around by getting caught up in the "busy-ness" of life. My ordination process takes place the first week of August, the program ends in late August, and I still have no idea where we will end up next. What a fun, scary, exciting, and deeply satisfying ride this continues to be....
