Fall Retreat - Monday, November 7, 2005
Somebody <cough Priscilla> said that I don't update enough. Maaaybe she's right, but I've been very busy with school and other commitments. Besides, I update more than she does... meh!
Well this weekend I went on a retreat to Camp Seely in Arrowhead with Campus Crusade for Christ, a Christian fellowship on campus. Dude, it was freaking freezing at night; it had to be below 40. The speaking was pretty good; the theme was reckless abandon, total surrender to God, which hit me (softly) on the head. As one of the staffers said to me, there are so many good things you can do in life, but oftentimes the good things are the worst enemy of the great things. Are you spending so much time doing good things that you neglect the great things? In the end, what's going to matter?
I can't say that the retreat was an overwhelming experience that changed my life, partly due to the state of torpor I've been in for a couple years now, but it's definitely helped me to evaluate myself. Small steps.
