Vacation--Return to the Harbor

Harbor Family,

Kelly and I just returned from much needed two week vacation.  It was a wonderful time of relaxing and getting away from the grind of ministry and church for a season.  It has been so long that I can't remember when we took the time away just to step back and regain perspective.  It's amazing how we can get "caught up" in what we do, even when we are working for the Lord.   I think of Jesus, who at times walked away from the crowds and away from the sick, because He knew that he had to get away and get alone with His Father.  If we don't do this from time to time, we run the risk of getting tunnel vision; a situation where we can only see what is directly in front us.  Therefore, they are vulnerable to being blindsided by something or someone, and they would never see it coming.  This is as good as the devil would have.

The time off was great!  I was especially moved by the great reports that came from home about the services here while I was away. 

Kelly and I are refreshed and ready to move forward with the plans for the latter half of this year.  God has much in store for the church between now and Christmas, and I'm excited about being a part of it.

Don't forget about the "Refuel" Youth Revival that begins this Friday night.  The doors open at 6pm, the giveaways begin at 6:30pm, and the service starts at 7pm.  We are expecting a Mighty Move of the Holy Ghost!
