Every fall Nashotah holds a three day retreat. Classes cease and the routines that we've learned these past few weeks are put on hold. In the Benedictine tradition the entire House takes time each year to spend in personal silent retreat. Each morning there will be a time to gather for an address by the former dean of the school, Retired Bishop of Quincey, Donald Parsons. During meals there will be no conversations taking place. The entire campus will cease it's chatter in hopes of hearing from God. This will continue for the next three days. It is a time for personal reflection, meditation, and prayer. It is a time of listening....listening to the voice of God...and reflecting on what he teaches us. So I will not be posting or emailing or calling for the next three days and I appreciate the prayers of God's people that I would be open to what God wants to show me in the days ahead.
