I just came back from the Lutheran Pastors Retreat at Heritage Hotel Cameron Highlands. The last time I was at Cameron Highlands was as a speaker for a Campus camp. I’ve always liked Cameron … especially the cool weather. Those of us there had more than one “roller coaster ride” emotionally as we got news…
