Moving Forward

I should have been spending this weekend away in Northampton, with friends. All of us are married to Baptist Ministers. I've been coming to this conference, which happens every two years, since Bob began in ministry [and my mother attended in the years before that] I'm sorry to miss it.

It is a special time of encouragement, support, caring, sharing, laughing, and learning together. 
Our group has recently 're-branded' under the name "Thrive" and the new committee are working hard. Our conference theme is "Moving Forward"
I don't know if they were thinking of the MLK quote when they chose that title. But it is one I have certainly found challenging in recent months...
