Retreat!

Not in the military sense but as a choice to drawback from the rush of day-to-day. CFNBC is going on a three day retreat up to Camp Stillwood. It is just out in the valley towards Mt. Baker and it is supposed to be beautiful.

We have events planned but there will be plenty of free time. Time to think, plan, pray, read and draw closer to God. I think of the 80 something song about "the warrior is a child" and plan to do as the song indicated. Draw close to my father.
There will be a bit of separation anxiety too. No cell service, internet, e-mail, TV or radio. Of course no blogging. But there will be coffee. Or so I am told.

I have been with people in the past that refused to use the word "retreat" as it gave place to the enemy. "Why, we can't retreat and pull back! Stay the course, never give up! Keep that old nose to the grind stone." Well we are going on a RETREAT and will come back stronger and better equipped to defeat anything that comes our way.
