Plus I had a lunchtime potluck I needed to attend. <BR/><BR/>Dr. Muse showed us that clip from Entertaining Angels as well, and we watched the whole movie at home. I'd highly recommend it. Of course, we're also involved at the Dorothy Day house in Portland, which has been really great.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with Katie....about having a man come as a speaker for women. That does seem disappointing to me too. I have complained long and hard at our presvyteres' retreats, about always having a priest speak to us. I think, we're women, we should have a woman speaker. So, even though I love Dr. Muse's talks, I'd have to say I'd support him coming for other things, but not for speaking just to women, unless we have a good balance. How often do mens' retreats have women speakers?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577327080587108034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014192.post-38924494827209728892007-10-25T11:12:00.000-07:002007-10-25T11:12:00.000-07:00Wow!

Two things I took away from it:<BR/>1) to live in the present and for Christ, and to not fill up my life with "busy stuff" just for the sake of doing it.<BR/>2) I really can't help anyone else but myself. The more I work to become Christ-like, the more I WILL be a help to others. <BR/>These aren't things he talked about specifically, but his words inspired me to reflect on these areas of my life that needed a little "light" shed on them. <BR/>I must admit, I was a bit disappointed at first when I learned that our Womens' Retreat speaker was going to be a man, especially after having nuns come visit for the past three years. BUT... it was very edifying and challenging and encouraging! <BR/>I'm glad you posted on his visit!Xenia Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880128865699100105noreply@blogger.com
