Just got back from our little adventure to Orcas Island. So cool to take Parker on this trip. We actually took him out of school to do it because I feel like it's part of his education. He definitely didn't argue!
Can I share a thought?
It's adventure that helps us appreciate routine and it's routine that helps us appreciate adventure.
I believe that we are born with an adventure gene. We need to test our limits. We need to explore new places and take on new challenges. And I know this varies from person to person, but we all need some form of adventure. For what it's worth, the ultimate adventure is living a Spirit-led life or chasing the Wild Goose.
Having said that, I'm ready to get back into my routine after an adventure. I'll hit the gym Monday morning. I'll get into my weekly routine of focus days and meeting days. Basically, I love my routine because I love what I do.
Without adventure, our routine becomes routine. Without routine, our adventure becomes routine. But when you have the right combination of both, then both things accentuate each other and make the other one far more meaningful.
I'm grateful for routine. I'm grateful for adventure.

Thanks, Mark.
Great perspective on the value of routine - it seems to get so much bad publicity!
Grace and Peace,
