today we snuck away to a nearby park for some needed family time. it was awesome. my favorite part was playing baseball together. it has been 6 months or so since jake and i have hit (we used to go hit all the time). so i was a little nervous that he had lost some skills. but in no time he was back to his old self...
we had a great time together. this has been a challenge for us - finding time to just be alone as a family. like anyone in "full-time ministry" (what does that even mean? aren't we all in full time ministry?), it can be easy to justify a lack of family time because of all the good things you are doing. lots of time we are out working on various projects together, so it seems like family time. but it's not, because we're not alone with each other...just us. when it's just us, it is different. more personal, and more intimate.
i was reminded today how important it is to set apart this time on a regular basis.
