Sacred Heart Retreat Center

 As part of my sabbatical time, I have had the wonderful opportunity
 to spend 8 days at a guided retreat at the Sacred Heart Jesuit 
Retreat House. Their hospitality has been wonderful and along
with some time of silence to reflect and pray, the beauty of this
place is wonderful. It is just south of Denver and I highly 
recommend it to anyone looking for a time to get away 
and just be with God!!

Foothills wildflowers

 I have been trying to get out most mornings and hike 
in the foothills of Albuquerque. I am amazed at all the 
trials and beauty up there in our backyard. It only took
47 years for me to figure that out. With the rains we 
have had in the last few weeks the wildflowers are 
really coming out. Here are a few of my favorites!






Monument Valley


I started off my Sabbatical with a trip up to Monument Valley
in southern Utah for a retreat with the clergy of the 
Episcopal Church in Navajoland. What a wonderful place. 
I have duped the formation in the middle of the above 
photo as my Sabbatical Cathedral.
