as quickly as it arrived; it left.

This retreat was different, I'm not really sure how, or why, or even what makes me say that; but I can feel it.  

 

 ³ Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?
       Who may stand in his holy place?

 ⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
       who does not lift up his soul to an idol
       or swear by what is false.

 ⁵ He will receive blessing from the LORD
       and vindication from God his Savior.

 ⁶ Such is the generation of those who seek him,
       who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
       Selah

 Those verses have been in my head and on my heart all weekend.  Is this the generation?  Will we finally learn that there is none like you.  No other idol that we lift our praises to will do the trick.  Will we be the generation that wholly and completely seeks your face? Oh Lord I hope and pray that it is.
