Renewal - Again

Last year on this weekend, I joined a group of church women at Glen Ivy Retreat Center for a time of renewal.  It was such a good time that we immediately decided to make it an annual tradition.  Many of the same women made the return this time - a few couldn't come back and a few new ones joined us.

One of the things that surprised us (in the sense that we weren't sure we would enjoy it) was how much fun we had making collages by cutting out pictures and words from magazines to describe ourselves.  Even more fun than creating these was sharing them with each other.  Stories surfaced that had us laughing so hard.  Here is a picture of all the collages after we taped them to the wall (before they started falling down).
