Hello All!

We just got home yesterday afternoon and I think I "blogged" all the way home to my husband and on the cell phone to my children about what a wonderful time I had! It was more than words can express...you were more than kind, thoughtful and encouraging! I have to agree that I felt the closeness of God's presence the whole time and it seemed that you could feel the "heartbeat" of the writers. That each one had a purpose to write songs to reach the needs of the listener and to uplift the Creator of the song!

I'm thankful to have had quality time to spend with "old friends" and for the opportunity to meet "new friends." And I'm especially thankful to Joel for allowing me to be a part of this great retreat!

Blessings!
Karen
