True, oh to be that free! I am sure it would be awesome to be able to focus on nothing but Jesus! But that’s why there are retreats. My friends (I’ve moved twice since then) used to go to a week long silent retreat in Indiana. They said it was awesome. For a group of women not to talk! Well I guess in the evening after evening prayers they could talk if they wanted to. Imagine no one following you around making demands?
I do. My husband was telling me the other evening about some friends of ours, three sisters in their 50s, who are going on a cruise next year. "I'd like to take you on a cruise," he said. "That's nice of you, but I'd like to send you and the children on a cruise, and I would stay here with the pets and do nothing."
