Three

For Christians, there’s deep meaning in three.

Three days in the belly of a fish.

Daniel’s prayers, three times a day.

Three crosses on a hill.

Rising from the grave … on Day Three.

In One, are Three.

I love three.

And for the next three days, I won’t be here, at Getting Down With Jesus.

Because, for three days, I am attending a retreat called Cursillo — dubbed appropriately “Three Days That Last a Lifetime.” I first attended about four years ago, and I experienced deep spiritual renewal. Ever since then, I return (three times a year) to serve the Lord while others come to this beautiful Iowa hillside to experience this deeply meaningful encounter with God.

Before I attended for the first time, a friend told me, “Jennifer, it’s as if God is close enough that you could reach out and touch him.”

Another told me, it’s like a vacation with Jesus.

They were both right. So today, I’m leaving once again for a three-day working vacation with Jesus.

We’ll see you in Three …
