Next weekend I have the privilege of speaking to the amazing American Baptist Women of Montana at their annual retreat. I look forward eagerly to the beautiful vistas and clean, fresh air at Templed Hills Camp and to spending time with these equally beautiful Christian women.

I’m sometimes asked to give leadership presentations, or workshops on evangelism, communications or other training topics at these conferences. I’m fortunate to know a few of the Montana ladies personally and to know enough about what this group does to be aware that I have very little wisdom to add. This retreat’s theme is “Breathe” and it is planned as a time of peaceful spiritual renewal. I expect to come back from the weekend enriched by sharing experiences with these lovely, mature Christians. It is my prayer that our time together will be a blessing for each of them, as well.
