In reply to Felicia. Thank you for visiting, Felicia. Pacem strikes me as a place you might like to visit someday.... :) Nice to see you at Hanabi!

Julie, What a beautiful experience to share with us. I love how you showed the photos and the place, and then talked about your time there. I felt like I was on the retreat with you. Thank you for sharing this gift. – Felicia

Thank you for your sweet comments, Shelley. I like the thought of spiritual spurs – tell me what comes to mind for you there…. 🙂

Ahh, isn’t “don’t be envious of a neighbor” one of our Lord’s given commandments? Ever since I read this post Julie, perhaps the internal battle is less with envy then conviction. A conviction that leaves an ache in my spirit to rest in the Lord’s arms, His grace and fresh wind. Then, I can rejoice that you can commit a time for that treasured relationship with the Lord, and may I be spurred to also commit some time to HIM even if it’s not at such a set-aside place as Pacen in Terris.

side note: perhaps there are ‘spiritual’ spurs that could protect your heels from exhaustion:)

That is so incredibly wonderful…
I wish there was some place like that around here, that was cheap. =)

I think it would be really hard the first day… but I would L-O-V-E that!! To be myself… and have hours of Jesus time…

I know that when I spend one simple hour in my room (with no roommates) and turn off all the noise, and spend that time with Jesus, I get completely overwhelmed by His love, faithfulness and by how good He is. I can’t imagine days of that.

In reply to Sue Raimo. No one has ever said that about anything I've done with my little point and click camera, Sue. Thank you! Maybe next time I go to Pacem we should ride down together! :)

In reply to Ganeida.

Thank you for visiting and for your comments, Ganeida! I love the color changes here in northern MN too – growing up in Southern California we didn’t see so much of that. Sub-tropical – I know what it means, but don’t know what characterizes that climate – I’m going to have to look that up! Blessings….

That looks so lovely. With so many of mine home at present I am struggling to find a quiet spot in my day to be still & quiet before the Lord.

PS I have so enjoyed the photos on this page & envy you the tree change. We’re sub~tropical & all our trees are evergreens.
