A treat for Father's day

Father's day today. My special treat was a meal out with the whole family together. Maybe that doesn't sound that special to you - but with four teenagers, it's pretty rare! I enjoyed having everyone together immensely. The only trouble is that I asked a guy at the next table to take the photo for me and he missed out on getting the girls in the picture. Oh well, not everyone's perfect.

I'm actually off to Launceston this afternoon to begin four days of spiritual retreat with small group of other pastors - none of whom I have met before. We start off with a four day retreat and then follow a three year cycle of an annual retreat and several one day events during each year to catch up. Never a good time to get away, but I am looking forward to having some space to think and pray for a bit. I get back next Thursday, so maybe I'll fill you in then.
