Sabbatical, day 1

It's strange to begin a time of rest, a time to work on my walk with God and get away from the busy life of a pastor.  Today was day one of that time away.  I spent this first day alone, in silence, reading.  Reading what you might ask?  I thought I would start the time away with a fiction and so today I read The Hunger Games, book 1.  I haven't read a fiction in years, but thoroughly enjoyed this one.  There is a lot to think about, but it was a great way to start a time of rest with a book that has nothing to do with my vocation!
