Ascension retreat

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007
I have enjoyed reading your comments from the last few posts and am thankful for this way of keeping in touch with you. It makes me feel “connected”.

As usual, we attended the annual retreat in Ardeche, France during the Ascension weekend. This year, all of the speakers were “amateurs”, that is, they were not paid ministers, and boy did they do a good job. Three of the speakers were 20 or younger, (one of them was Son 1), and they all spoke true words without hypocrisy that went right to the heart.

It was late to bed and “early” to rise for the three day stay… Lots of fellowship, sport, study, praise and prayer. Way too much time spent at the table. All in all, a time of renewal.
