Next week doesn't look better. In fact, a little worse: Tuesday, another inreach training at my own church; Wednesday, confirmation, Thursday, my book club (I have, alas, not finished the book, Abide with Me, by Elizabeth Strout, yet), Friday, wedding rehearsal (at an outdoor location I still don't have a map for), Saturday, Health Care meeting, Wedding (at an outdoor location I still don't have a map for), Sunday (deep breath) Young Couples' Dinner. Oh, and did I mention I'm preaching next week? No?
But I'm not preaching this week. So tomorrow night and Saturday Husband and I are going to take a little get away to a secret location. I don't know for sure where it is, but I think it looks like this:
My dream: relaxing time reading and writing (maybe even some bad poetry! I haven't done that in years), and active time hiking with Scout, if the weather turns nice. And time to get away from the pressure and desire to succeed at all of the things I am doing, and remember that I am a person and a child of God.
My hope: that I will return renewed.
I believe in this: do you?

GOOD FOR YOU!
i believe, for you.

and i do have to preach this weekend!
Hi, I am Larry from Let's Talk. I followed you from franIam, I hope you don't mind.
I've started a new Religious site called Let's Talk God and I would like some input from those that already have a religious site. If there's any time that you might have to visit my new site and offer some advice. I will surely appreciate it.
Times of renewal definitely help!
we do have to come back for church on Sunday. so it's a very short trip. (even though I don't preach)
Have a good trip and I hope you come back renewed and refreshed.
You go girl! Refresh, renew and enjoy.
Hoping Scout is better and will refresh and renew as well.
I send you prayerful thoughts for refreshment and renewal. May you, your husband and Scout have a wonderful time!
Enjoy the gift of time, the company. Prayers it will be well with your soul. ( and of course I envy you).;)
That is fantastic! My husband and I are going away next weekend, and it's something we both strongly believe in. It's amazing how restorative just Getting Away can be.
(Plus, the pic is beautiful-- will you tell us where it is afterwards?)
mrs m. -- yep.
I do believe!
Have a wonderful, wonderful, restful, renewing time.
Living vicariously,
Jiff
Bon voyage...no matter if it is just a couple of days.
Oh, yes indeed! Enjoy enjoy enjoy!
I believe for you! Praying you have a wonderful, relaxing and refreshing time away and return ready to tackle that hectic schedule... and of course that you will get that map! in time!
Diane, you and your sweetie have a lovely tryst in the undisclosed location.
It does not look like Dick Cheney's bunker. I'm glad for that.
This is so good! Have fun with your husband in your secret place. Be renewed!
