Retreat
I had a chance this weekend to escape for a spiritual formation retreat. I arrived in beautiful Julian, CA on Friday afternoon. The group I was with spent most of the weekend in silence and study–what a contrast from the typical daily schedule. It was surreal to spend an entire weekend simply eating, sleeping and reading while spending a good portion of the time in complete verbal silence.
This was a bittersweet retreat, however. As I was enjoying the refreshment and abandon of my getaway, Amy was home dealing with very sick children. Don’t ask me how she finds time to remodel our home while I’m away, especially in the midst of such chaos.
I hope all this personal enrichment pays off (and I’m sure she’s hoping so too!).
