Tonight Victor and I went up to Mount St. Francis for the Women's Cursillo closing.
It was very moving to say the least. I was very busy and involved somewhat by serving breakfast and dinner with my friend Alice to the ladies.
At the closing tonight one of the candidate's made a comment that really stuck with me. She was sharing what it means to be a witness for Christ. She said that she came to realize this weekend by listening to all of the talks and the sharing that we "can only be convincing when we are truly convinced about our faith and our belief in God." Amen!
The closing witness talk was given by my fellow "groupie," Debbie Fackler. She did a fantastic job! I told her that it was truly without a doubt, one of the best closing talks that I've ever heard. (And I've heard a lot of them) She stressed, in a very humourous way to, "Let your light shine"
They had a lady that didn't get to finish the retreat because of health issues. I don't remember her name, but offer a prayer for her. She is a very sick lady.
All in all, the retreat of course went very well. How could it not, the Holy Spirit was in charge.
I pray for a candidate to sponsor next year...hummmmm, wonder who she will be:)

The Loss of a dear friend.
On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."
This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
