Today we are at sea as we head to our next destination and there is always lots to do on the ship. We actually have worship every morning but on the days at sea we also have a presentation from Father Ron Rohlheiser who is a Catholic priest in the Oblate order. He is originally from Toronto, Canada and is currently the head of a seminary in San Antonio, Texas.
Ron has written several books and the theme of each of his talks is about the different seasons of our spiritual Ives. The first season of our spiritual Ives he calls, "The struggle to get our lives together." I have found his words to be inspiring and encouraging as he talks about the fact that we all see life differently in different times of our lives and I have found this true in my life as well. This first season of our lives is really just a struggle to figure out who we are and who's we are. He talked about the importance of Sabbath rest in getting our lives together and that being on a cruise can be a good way to take some time away and I have found that to be true.
After our time in the morning together, we then all have free time on the ship. There are several swimming pools and even a grass area on the top deck for laying around that are all helpful when trying to get some rest.
Great meals are included in the cruise and they have a wonderful workout area that looks out over the ocean so you can work off all of the extra calories. The first picture below is the area off of our room that we have to use to enjoy free time. I also have included a few pictures of our ship and of a sunset we got to enjoy tonight. I hope this doesn't make too many of you to jealous!
