Back home by 8:30 for evening devotions in my work room. Then it’s time to do some book work and study before bed. Good night world. Thank you Jesus for a great day.

Staycation Pt. 4
Since I had little money to spend on extravagances this year I chose to take several free galavants through the countryside for my vacation.
One of the places I hiked was Doane’s Falls in Royalston MA. Doanes is just at the outlet of the Miller’s River as it makes its way into the Tully Dam spillway.

The first time I walked the falls was with my grandparents when I was a little boy. I don’t think I have walked all the way through to Tully since.

Usually the head waters of the falls are broiling making it very dangerous to swim. Many a diver has jumped into the pool never to reemerge. With the little rainfall we have had the first falls are reduced to a mere trickle of their usual volume.

The third falls


Several boasters were taking advantage of the summer heat out on the Tully Dam waterway. It was a beautiful summer day and the whole hike took me about an hour and a half. When you visit bring plenty of water, bug spray and mind the poison ivy!

Share Your World 2016 Week 31
I shared last week’s world yesterday and today I am sharing this week’s world with you all.
I know that statement might have confused some of you. Let me explain. Every week Cee Neuner asks five questions of her contributors. In answering them we all share our worlds. I have been a little behind so this week I am sharing my world not once but twice.

Who knows maybe you will even do a little sharing of your own!
Here are the questions and my answers
What is your favorite part of the town/city you live in. And what Country do you live?
I live in the state of Of Massachusetts on the Eastern coast of the U.S. I love the forests of our town and the back roads.
Would you rather wear clown shoes every day or a clown wig every day?
Clown shoes not even a question. A wig would make my head sweat.
Which way does the toilet paper roll go? Over or under?
I have been told there are rules about such things. I have never taken the time to learn what they are. I count myself blessed to have toilet paper and to have a toilet to put it in.
What do you do to make a living or during the day? If you are retired what mostly occupies your day? Or if you are a student what are you studying?
I am a minister on staff at a growing church. My portfolio includes: Music and the arts and discipleship.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am grateful that I had such a wonderful vacation. I am very glad that I will soon be going home from my first full day back at the office for a nap before my meeting tonight!

Staycation 2016 Pt. 1
So this year my plan was to visit my son in South Korea for my summer vacation. Unfortunately I ended up owing on April 15th rather than getting back…Sad :(.

So my South Korean vacation turned into a New England staycation. God is always in control. As it turns out sticking around was all part of His plan.
I decided to take a portion of my time and spend it in concerted prayer about my schedule for this next year. I have been sensing for a while that things are about to change.
A few weeks before my vacation I approached Father Mike over at Immaculate Heart and asked him if I could use his sanctuary during my vacation as a sacred space to center down and pray. He readily agreed. Thank you Father Mike!
Then I approached my teams with a list of all the things I am involved in and asked them to rate those things on a 1-10 scale as to their importance in my life. I took all this information with me into prayer. The results I imagine will be forthcoming.
