Just to clarify about my retreat....

www.upperroom.org/emmaus

Here is a link to the program. It is not really a walk but more of a spiritual walk. It is like going to spend the weekend in a monestery (sp? where monks live) or in a convent. There are no phones, tv's clocks, etc. No cameras allowed. It is much more like a three day sunday school class with a lot of praying.

The intention of the program is to strenghten your personal relationship with God. I think the letters are meant to help encourage the person. Just to let them know how you feel about them. eg: love, respect, good cook- whatever the case may be.

I wish it was more of an outdoor activity but I think it is almost all indoors in small study groups.

I understand more now. I never been on a retreat but I can see how it would help almost any one.
