Presonal Retreat

It's 8:05 in the evening and I'm sitting in a house in Avalon, N.J. I'm here for a few days to spend some time alone thinking, praying, reading, studying, and in general to quiet my heart before God. This time of the year at the shore is a bit eerie. I went and stood on the shore with the Atlantic ocean nipping at my toes, and as far as I could see in either direction I was the only one. There's not too many people in Avalon this time of year, and it has that deserted feeling...as if everyone has left and won't be coming back!

Thankfully, Jesus said he would never leave us! I may be one of a few actually physical bodies in Avalon, but no matter...I'm not alone, nor will I ever be.
