Sabbatical - Day 8

We traveled to west Texas today . . . spending the night in Midland. We had lunch at Sammie's Barbecue in Dallas, after Jan read about it in a Paula Dean magazine. The ribs and brisket were great.

Tomorrow we hope to travel to Tucson and do some touring in that area. I was able to finish a couple of books today. Simple Church by Thom Rainer was extremely thought-provoking and challenging. God has truly spoken to me through this book. I also read The Church of Irresistible Influence by Robert Lewis. It was also a great book. I'll do some more reading along the way (not while driving) and will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again to the HD family for allowing me to have this time to rest, refocus and refine. Even on Sabbatical I find myself alliterating my words.
