We're back from a productive (yet refreshing) week of working vacation in Branson, Missouri. Prayers and conversation, 5 days with hikes around Table Rock Lake, feeding the ducks (and geese and a big "commotion" of coots!) at Lake Taneycomo, worshiping the Lord with the members of Friendly Baptist Church, twice enjoying lunch at the Keeter Center at the College of the Ozarks, doing a bit of shopping at Branson Landing and an outlet mall, having tea in old downtown Branson, slightly cheating on our Paleo diets by stopping by Sweet Susie's, reading, and doing the quarterly review together of our 2023 New Year Resolutions.
And the work part of the week? Well, there was personal correspondence, plans for upcoming activities, and writing and editing 5 projects. Those 5 were the April VSM letter, the agenda for the upcoming Board meeting, the beginning of a new Christmas story, new articles for the VSM website, and the article "Oh, What a Tangled Web."
Lord, thank you for a very rich time in Branson. And now that we're back home, help us please hit the ground running towards the next opportunities.
