the Rev. Kate Ekrem
So,
it works really well when you are working on a sermon on Sabbath time to go on
retreat, which is what I did this week. I gathered with some old friends, we
each shared what was going on in our lives, our challenges and joys and
frustrations, trying to get some perspective on it all, and then we went for a
hike. We climbed Mount Kearsarge in southern NH, and when we finally got out on
top, with a view stretching from Maine to Vermont, looking down at buildings
that looked like little dots, and someone said, well, there’s some perspective
for you. It almost goes without saying
