It’s been an intense couple of months of writing and travel. Through it all I’ve managed to write a blog post each day and send Dean my story of the week. But I am intensely tired. My Garmin claims I am averaging about 5 hours of sleep a night.

With our Christian friends retreating into their busy season to celebrate Christmas, Steve and I usually take the last two weeks of December as our planning/rest period. I intend to embrace the “rest” part of it thoroughly this year. I will still post a blog entry (though expect them to be short) and send my story to Dean. Other things are on hold until the new year.

May your holiday season be beautiful, filled with all good things and may you enjoy a peaceful, healthy, and joy-filled new year. Be well, friends.
