I Needed More Depth
The Practice of Spiritual Retreat
Nothing is as we thought it would be...

​

The Lord reminded me over and over the gift of solitude. I received love in abundance through the thermos of hot water waiting for me in the cottage, to the stove turning on just as I woke Saturday morning to warm me, to the turkey who ran down the path just for me to see and laugh out loud, the the beauty of the prayer labyrinth’s....all was so unexpected and exactly what I needed.

Such a gift to commune with God in the silence, stillness, and solitude! Thank you
– Cottage guest 3/20/21

I was looking forward to this retreat. I woke up this morning later than usual and lighter than usual. My wife said, "I can tell you're not going to work today." It was good to spend a day reflecting on Scripture--specifically John 18 & 19--in an unhurried and relaxed pace. To hear the questions of the text addressed to me. And to pray for the big things in my life. Thank you for giving me this space!
