“Art becomes craft when inspiration is expressed in detail…the more someone or something matters to us, the more the details relating to them matter to us. When someone creates out of love, it is visible in the details. When something matters to us, the details matter. Moving the dream into the details is the true art of craftsmanship. It is here that we move into the tension of creation and refinement. It’s easy to dream but too easy and too tempting to become lost in our dreams.”
– Erwin McManus [The Artisan Soul]

Last Monday and Tuesday, the Sojourn staff got away to New Hampshire for some evaluating, planning, and sports. This picture makes it look like all we did was play, but we really did work…a lot…and in to the wee hours of the night. Progress was made. I think last year helped clarify some important things for us, and this next year is going to be a time of growth. Just a gut feeling.
On a different note: Amy, and our friend Aleyda (umb student), made tortillas on Saturday. Amy made flour and Aleyda corn and they were both excellent. Especially when stuffed with delicious meat, guac, and salsa. So good!
