Northern Exposure


This the phase of the Sabbatical in which Donna, my wife, joins me. These weeks are times of renewal for me but also great nourishment for our marriage. This porton of the Sabbatical is highlighted by learning opportunities.

Two themes have arisen during this time which I am calling the Chautauqua portion of the Sabbatical. The first is the power of water, it's power to shape and change it's surroundings. The second is that of the rich diversity of religious expressions which infuse our world and enliven the human family.
Donna and I began in Chicago, which sits on the big toe of the Great Lakes. One of my lifelong dreams has been to experience the Great Lakes in person. I have delighted in experiencing Lakes Michigan, Eria, and Ontario. In the midst of these powerful water views are some equally powerful learnings.
