Today I am headed to the mountains of North Carolina, to Lutheridge, one of my favorite retreat centers.
It's time for the Create in Me retreat, one of my favorites. I love it for many reasons, but of course, primarily because I can't think of many ways I'd rather spend time than in exploring the intersections of faith and creativity.
I also love it because it starts on Thursday night. That makes the long drive more worthwhile. The retreats that go from Friday night to Sunday are almost not enough time--even if I had a shorter drive, it's just not enough time.
I'll be headed to the mountains with a friend from church, while my spouse stays home to teach his classes. She's my once-in-a-blue-moon book club friend, and I'm looking forward to spending more time with her.
I'm not looking forward to the drive. I have often said that I'd like to get to Lutheridge more often, and for awhile, we made this journey, even though the drive was long. Now, as we think about how we want to live our later years, I need to think about that idea again.
There's still room for more. If you find yourself with an unexpected free week-end, come on up the mountain!
