Retreat

a Biblical thought...
Dear friend, when you extend hospitality to Christian brothers and sisters, even when they are strangers, you make the faith visible. (3 John 1:5)

a Book thought...
I don’t any of the writers of the bible ever intended people to read their letters alone. (p53 Bell)
a Dave thought...
Yesterday all the THQ officers gathered together for a spiritual retreat at the Treacy Conference Centre in Parkville. It was a valuable time with Major Robert Patterson leading us through the day, which was based on the transfiguration in Mark 9. An interesting exercise we all engaged in was to draw the 3 tents that Peter refers to in verse 5. We were asked to use our imagination to sketch images of a dwelling place for Jesus, Elijah & Moses. It was good to have some space to reflect and pray & although I’m no artist, God was certainly in our midst.

Just a thought.
