It’s been a long time since I have blogged. I have been on vacation and traveling alot so I haven’t had so much time. Right now we are at a retreat center in Crowley Lake California on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It is an incredibly beautiful mountain resort town overlooking a vast desert lake and mountains. It is up in the pines so it is quite a bit cooler than the surrounding country. We have some wonderful friends here who pastor a church called Church on the Mountain. Their people decided to build a lodge to use for pastors and missionaries to get away. Since they often don’t have money for expensive vacations, the church has offered it for free! Isn’t that amazing. So, since my husband and I teach English in China for practically nothing they are giving a free weeks vacation here. Wow, are we ever happy! I’ll include some pics later.
