Holiday

is from the Old English haligdæg, meaning holy day.

In parts of the world beyond the United States, people on vacation are said to be on holiday.

What would it mean for us – how would it change how we view and value them – to think of our vacations as holy days?

We live in a fascinating time

Uprooted, unstable, rapidly changing, we need each other. It's a time that calls us into community -- real, deep, authentic relationships, where we can be the people God calls us to be. It's also a very hopeful time that calls us to celebrate the taking of creative risks and to even embrace failure. It's okay to fall short. Christ is here to pick us up. It's okay to be honest about our brokenness. Christ is here to make us whole. And, Christ is blazing the trail ahead of us, so . . . LET'S GO!
