We finished a good weekend on Sunday and today we are in Switzerland on vacation. We are in a town with NO CARS and plenty of cold and snow (It is really cool). Our plan this week is to sleep, read, pray and enjoy each other the pool and hot tub at the hotel.
I feel a little guilty being on vacation. I love what I do so much why would I need to be away from it? But I know that Debbie and I are tired after the Christmas season and it has feels so good to just be away.
We took the train to take away the stress of driving or flying. We are staying in one place so we will not return from vacation feeling like we need a vacation (we have done before) and we are returning too late to begin a weekend (we had done that way too many times and the rest we have seems to be wiped out within hours.)
Yesterday on the train I read 1/3 of “Superfreakonomics” (fun book) and two TIME magazines. Today we slept and have had a very relaxing day of doing nothing but walking, swimming, and reading.
So, our house is closed this week and this weekend. But we are getting the rest and spiritual refreshment we need. Thank you for you prayer.
Our hotel is so much nicer than this!
