Ladies' Retreat

We had the most glorious, relaxing, renewing ladies' retreat this last weekend. Our speaker, Dori Drabek, was awesome (check her out at http://www.pwoconline.org/Resources/Speakers/DoriDrabek.html). Part of her "talks" included hilarious character sketches (as you'll soon see). She took on several different characters and then delivered a powerful sermon afterwards. It was such a time of spiritual renewal and bonding among the women of our little church. Praise the Lord for His inheritance in the saints.
Here are just a few photos to commemorate the event.

(I joined the hike saying, "If Val can do it, so can I." She turned to me and said, "They'll have a hard time keeping up with ME." Haha! So true! She's an energetic one!!)

Linda's Snow Angel


It didn't take much coaxing to get her to do this. :)
