Packing today for the trip. Trying to keep Patty from bringing everything but the kitchen sink and I think she is thinking about bringing that as well. "We are camping" I remind her, and we are pulling this little trailer with a Kia Rio not a Chevy Blazer. I think we will get er done sometime tonight!
I am starting to get the "spooks" a bit over the 20 marathons in 20 days. I hope it doesn't hurt to much! I am sounding a bit wimpy, aren't I?
One of my goals each year when I do this "solitude" trip is to do some serious reflection about myself. One writer said "an unexamined life is not worth living". I want to think about my own character and become aware of weak areas that need worked on. I also want to understand fully what my motives are for all that I choose to do in life, especially ministry related. I realized a long time ago that I can do all the right things for all the wrong reasons, and I don't want to do that. I also want to think about what my goals will be for this next year of my life and for the years beyond as well. I am looking forward to having some nice conversations with myself.
