SuperNatural Christians Retreat — May 2005
Nickie's Diary

Day 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Karen studies the science behind wind farming.

We woke up early today and had breakfast with the Jesuits. We said goodbye and got back into the van. Today's drive would only be about 6 hours.

This is Cerro Gordo Wind Farm near Ventura, Iowa, and it's said to produce enough electricity to serve 20,000 homes and businesses.

We stopped somewhere in Iowa again to see wind turbines. We had a last prayer here and discussed how each of us would personally respect the environment and incorporate nature into our faith.

The rest of the drive seemed short, and before I knew it, we were back in Kansas City. I am so thankful for this experience! It was an awesome time. Each of us made new friends and reflected on our own lives. After a hectic semester of school work, a retreat like this was needed to force me to relax and focus on everything else. I am sad that it is over but ready to return to the comforts of home. This retreat has taught me to live simply and take time to smell the roses. I am very thankful for everyone who was so hospitable to us on the trip and thankful that I had this opportunity!
