Stepping Away...

This morning I'm leaving for a church retreat at our parish and won't return until late afternoon tomorrow. When I was asked to do this, I tried to make excuses as to why I couldn't. I was worried about leaving Brad with kids to fend for himself. I'm going to try to let that go, leave with no instructions or orders. Since it is a prayer retreat, I will simply pray that no one gets sick, no one gets hurt and all is well while I am absent. The quiet alone time will probably do me wonders.
