First of all, I cannot take credit for the NAME of my blog spot. " A shot of Hennesy" was from the creative genius of one Mr. Sam Perkin... otherwise known as the Almost Reverend Sam Perkins. 

What I hope to accomplish with this Blog, at first, is to chronicle the 'adventures' of my summer of 2012 SABBATICAL... graciously granted to me by Oswego Presbyterian Church for the usual and customary reasons for ANY sabbatical: rest, renewal, education... with one particular project in mind: developing a forty day Lenten Devotional based on art work on display at the ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO, one of my favorite places in the world!
But there will also be journeys to a "Renewal Conference" for clergy sponsored by the Presbyterian Church USA, and a trip to the General Assembly of the PCUSA and other inspirational venues.

Come along... we'll Keep the Faith together.
