Greetings from San Feli\u00fa de Guixols<\/st1:city>, Spain<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>! My previous post was on reformed depression, but I\u2019m actually in a state of Evangelical Happiness right now. We\u2019re at one of those suffering-for-the-Lord occasions (as MvdW<\/a> would call it); five days in a hotel called Eden Roc right on the Costa Brava<\/st1:place>. It is our annual \u2018Round Table\u2019-conference with leaders from all over Europe, and Spain<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> always seems to be the best place to gather. Apart from the very good conference (that I might blog about later) the place lives up to its name: a little paradise on the rocks. Mira and I are together, which adds to the paradisiacal feeling: sea, beautiful shores, excellent Spanish food, siesta time, excellent Spanish wines, and so forth. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

There is however a true cost involved: today is Rosa<\/st1:place>\u2019s 6th<\/sup><\/span> birthday and we are not there to c<\/span>elebrate with her\u2026 Fortunately, s<\/span>he is taken well care of by my parents.<\/span><\/p>\n
