Since the word "vacation" comes from "vacate," I'm giving my blog a rest until mid-June in order to take some time off. I leave you with these "words to vacate by" from Frederick Buechner's fine little work, Secrets in the Dark:
"All the absurd little meetings, decisions, inner skirmishes that go to make up our days. It all adds up to very little, and yet it all adds up to very much. Our days are full of nonsense, and yet not, because it is precisely into the nonsense of our days that God speaks to us words of great significance--not words that are written in the stars but words that are written into the raw stuff and nonsense of our days, which are not nonsense just because God speaks into the midst of them. And the words that he says, to each of us differently, are "Be brave...be merciful...feed my lambs...press on toward the goal."
