Laguna Beach Christian Retreat Center

Sometime back in the late 1990's, Barry and Karen M told us about this place. We immediately visited and have been back 40-50 times. We walk through the grounds and Brenda recollects, "We stayed in that one, and in that one, and that one too!". Most of our time we have stayed down at the cottages which is close to two groceries and to some good running routes.

One of the virtues of this place is that they give me a "pastoral discount" since we work for Cru now. The cost is lower than market, but the facilities are pretty basic--perfect for us. We spend a LOT of time at the beach, so we don't need a fancy room.

We've been here so much that it is kinda a home-away-from-home for us. That makes us more comfortable. We know where to shop and where to eat, and where the best thrift stores are nearby. They have had some staff turn-over, but Jeremy has been here checking us in for many, many years.

Brenda was recalling things that have happened whilst we were here. I can only recall getting the job offer for Liberty U here. I do remember coming here after our son Daniel and Shannon's wedding.

All of our kids have spent a lot of time here. Brenda and I have spent a lot more time here.

And all of it has been happy, happy, happy.

Thank you L^rd!
