Men's Retreat 2008

There were many aspects of this retreat that any given man or boy would enjoy. In contrast to last year, there were no injuries that I know of. Not that Travis and Jacob didn't try to injure someoone with axes and fire and accelerants and boats and sticks and hooks. Adam provoked one adult to place Adam in a scenario with lots of potential energy if friction failed, but it didn't.

Passing the torch was discussed, acknowledged, recognized and encouraged.

Gary Wilson taught us that we, by ourselves, are too smart and that sharing the gospel was simple and merely and act of obedience in unfailing love. Tatesbrook is blessed with smart people.

And of course, what retreat would be complete without an ultimate frisbee game and a 40 yard dash. Letting go of a torch can be hard.
