Yes, I'm back home from the retreat--it really was a retreat in the sense that I was able to retreat from some of my stress. Each session dealt with servant leadership and reminding us that with serving the Lord comes hard times. But God is faithful!
The men and women at the retreat were very supportive of me in my situation. Several just put their arms around me and said, "I've been there. I know it hurts."
One missionary even wanted me to go to India and the Middle East with him next month to help with a pastor's conference!
I may write more thoughts about the retreat later--now, it's time to get ready for my last sermon--"Paul, a Man on the Move" (Romans 15-16). That title is the title of the section on this passage in Warren Wiersbe's commentary on Romans. I thought it would be appropriate for my last sermon, before this Paul moves on!
