This weekend was a weekend of weekends… not the, but a. It was memorable, fun, exciting, interesting, engaging, uplifting, and challenging.
Not everything was great. Not everything was bad. More good than bad. Of course, what is good? What is bad?
Some highlights!
1. SENIOR MEN WON THE LIP SYNC- and i was johnny cash…!
2. I got to know some more of the guys in my group
3. The small-group times (mine and others, from what I hear) went well
4. Our group- from 6th to 12th- all acted right (with the exception of a few 8th and 9th grade boys)
5. Worship was great- I actually opened up to a song, for once (hard to explain…)
6. Good times with friends…!
7. Good last retreat.
8. Lots of great pictures!
Some lowlights.
1. Lip sync was hard and painful for some people- some senior guys, some girls, and the junior guys
2. People might have walked away with a bad impression of our students
3. The speaker wasn’t there on Saturday, and even though we watched a video of him teaching, he wasn’t that compelling (surprisingly enough, since he told us to lead compelling lives)
4. The small group times were torturous sometimes in silence… i almost cried and almost got mad at people for not participating…
5. No dramas- at least, not that many dramas that made sense…
6. Seems thing disjointed for the weekend…
7. Lots of talk of reading the Bible and going on mission trips, but not much on how to live the Word out
8. Sad, cause its my last retreat… :
anyway, i learned. i grew. and God was at work.
farewell
