I have followed Gordon’s reports on them and know it was an enriching experience. I read a number of the retreat posts on TheHighCalling. I have great hopes for our time in August.

But honestly, I don’t get to take them very often. This weekend was an exception–since I went to Gordon’s Franciscan Retreat in San Antonio.

Howard Butt often says, “We retreat to advance.” And I think I’m slowly learning what he means. If we don’t stay centered, we lose focus and productivity. Not that increased productivity is the reason we retreat!

(2 months ago, Laity Lodge sponsored a group writing project about the importance of retreats. You might enjoy browsing some of the posts.)
