Hi Ho, It's off to work we go..........

Back to work today after three months on the road with Jesus. Australia, South Wales, Ukraine and Scotland. It was a fantastic way of spending the last three month.s My thanks go to all who have given hospitality and time to make my stay with you memorable. I have learned so much and I have seen  so many things. It's going to take me quite a long to to reflect on all that I have encountered. I have mixed feelings about returning to work. I'm going to have to listen hard to the culture and heartbeat of the local church once again. It was good to be back at church this morning even though it felt quite a strange experience. The last service I took was on the 28th December 2010. It will take a while to re-enter this space. I feel torn, and encouraged at the same time. There was much to explore in Australia, I cried in Ukraine, I was great to see so much in South Wales and I'm glad to have ended my travels in Scotland. I have learned new ways, I've been challenged, I have a renewed perspective on faith communities, and I have so many stories to share. Let the games begin.
