This evening, I got back from Germany (again). The past three days, I was in Willengin, Germany with 23 single soldiers from my battalion (and a few other units). The village you see is the view from my balcony this morning. I think the retreat went well. The focus was on making good decisions on choosing a spouse. Several soldiers seemed to begin thinking about a few of the issues as the impact of family background and prior relationships on marriage. I'll begin looking at the participant feedback on Monday. Logistically, my assistants did a great job. (Yes, for any chaplain friends reading this, I have two assistants for the moment).
Personally, I got to take a long run on some of the mountain roads. It amazes me how quickly you can reach a point where the only things you hear are the wind in the trees and a few birds. Germans seem to have figured out how to be close to civilization while you still feel like you're away from everything. I definitely need to go backpacking after a couple of hours in the woods.
