It was February 8, and the thermometer showed 80 degrees for much of the trip between Charleston and Myrtle Beach. The temperature had dropped to the mid 70's by the time we reached Myrtle Beach, but that did not stop me from enjoying some of the amenities. I have been on retreat in many different settings through the years, but nothing quite like this. I am extremely grateful for the donors who made this possible for the deacons and their wives in the Diocese of Charleston.
Our retreat director was very good. His presentations were thought-provoking and filled with nuggets of wisdom to help us be better spiritual leaders. I know the amount of work it takes to prepare for leading a retreat. Abbott Isaac Camacho blessed us with his attention to detail.

I miss the opportunities to be at an actual retreat center when going on retreat. However, since leaving the St. Louis area, most of my retreats have taken place at hotels or parish buildings. While this weekend's setting was not in the solitude of a remote retreat center, it still provided opportunities for quiet and reflection.
An impressive sandcastle welcomes guests in the lobby area.
The view from our room was beautiful.
May the Lord grant us a restful night. Blessings and peace to all who read these pages!
