It seemed a nice idea to post some images taken earlier that capture the magic of the Retreat, a place we used to visit a lot. Hopefully we can resume this as we are able. We have a collection of slides to music 'I have a dream' sung by Lisa Stokke (for Mamma Mia!). This is really about learning to make a slideshow video with sound and sharing it. You can view the video here. Enjoy.

The number nine has spiritual dimensions
We have nine basic spiritual needs:
1. a viable philosophy of life;
2. constructive lifestyle guidance;
3. our relationship with an energising God;
4. our soul as the centre of our being;
5. hope in the midst of our losses;
6. reconciliation replacing guilt;
7. our being valued by God;
8. our moments of transcendence;
9. our belonging to a caring community.
And according to the Bible, there are nine spiritual gifts:
Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.

Another list of nine
These are drawn from Romans 12:10-13
1. With brothherly/sisterly love, be devoted
2. With honour, raise another above yourself
3. With zeal, never be lacking
4. With your spirit, be fervent
5. With the Lord, be doers and not just hearers
6. With hope, be joyful
7. With affliction, be patient
8. With prayer, continue at it
9. With the needy, share and be hospitable
These nine practical steps for Christian life grow out of sincere love, doing what is good (verse 9).
