You might remember every August Echoes of Grace goes on vacation. This is our cabin remotely tucked in the Wet Mountains where Bill and I will be living this month. We call it our Sanctuary. I’m trusting this poem will describe our days.

The Gentle Yoke
Stillness and simplicity create
Anticipation highlighting the
Nearness of God. His
“Come to Me” invitation offering rest with the
Time to respond, to enjoy, to soak, and to
Unplug (mostly). Once again the
Adventure of
Refreshing, of rejuvenating, of recharging, of experiencing the gift of the gentle
Yoke of Jesus.

The very first week of September I’m flying to Harvester Island off the coast of Kodiak Island in Alaska for a week of writing training with Leslie Leyland Fields. A big plane to Anchorage; a small plane to Kodiak; a bush plane to Harvester. YIKES! Yup, I’m excited and a bit nervous.

So Echoes is taking a bit of an extended break this year. I plan that it will return on Thursday, September 16. Mark your calendars.

SURPRISE!!! In two weeks, on August 19, a few brief words will give you a glimpse into our (my) Sanctuary Time. I hope you’ll mark your calendars and come by.
