I'm on my way back to Familyland. Currently, I'm staying at my friend's house- but my friend is 365 miles away at college. One more day till I see her, and about 25 other people I miss like crazy. Anyway, the G-family is amazing. They are letting me stay with them for a weekend conference at Catholic Familyland. I know the name sounds cheesy and lame, but it is my favorite place on earth. It is like a second home.
On the drive here I realized just how much I need the spiritual renewal of this weekend. I'll admit, this summer I've been more on track spiritually than the past 18 months or so. Still, I prayed more in that 2 1/2 hour drive than I usually do in a week! Why is it that traffic and bad weather bring me to my knees faster than emotional stress or other worries about life?
Oh yeah, I decided that I should name my car while we were stuck in traffic together. I'm calling her Hope.
