I am now just a few weeks away from the journey beginning. Here is how I have broken the sabbatical pilgrimage up over the 7 weeks.

1 week focusing on being a dad and loving on my family

1 week focusing on being a husband and focusing on my marriage

1 week of solitude. Just me and Jesus at a monastery.

1 Week of Submerge. Submerging myself in the world around me. I will be traveling to Toronto to spend time with the homeless community and others of the streets of this massive city.

1 week of counter-culture. I have worked in a church, but want to spend some time doing something totally different.

As well I will be visiting many different styles of churches and am looking forward to not worry about details, sermon preparation, and actually be able to just embrace the moments of corporate worship.

I have some other things unfolding as well and will keep you up to date as I progress.

Pray for me.
