Is there anything more glorious? Dennis and I woke up to his phone alarm this morning--he's lucky I didn't throw it across the room. Anyway, Dennis and I are the best babysitters. We may not be the best housesitters, but definitely the best teenager-sitters. No alarm clock? Is there anything more glorious?

For Terra Nova people reading this, you may be interested to know that as a policy each elder/pastor at Terra Nova is required to take at least one prayer retreat a year. I took mine in February. I sent Aimee away on one last month. I believe that everyone should do this from time to time regardless of what you do for a living. Even going to a hotel half an hour away can provide the silence we all need. We feed our bodies and our minds--we should also feed our souls. too many pastors are workaholics who actually get ill while stepping away for a few days–it is good to work with someone willing to take a break.
