Retreat review

Here's a cautionary word of advice: If you're ever invited (entreated, cajoled, forced) to play the BafaBafa game, just say no.  It's a ridiculous waste of time.  After playing the part of an Alphan for half an hour, I followed Chris' example and sat down to just watch the rest of my touchy, laughy, happy-go-lucky "society."  I was happy that no one seemed to notice or mind me sitting out.  After making sure I wasn't going to get in trouble for not being involved, I kept reading "The Bronze Bow," which I had wisely brought to the afternoon session.

I'd tell you about the rest of the weekend, but it wasn't much better.  I'll spare you the details.  So, in conclusion, just know that I survived the SM retreat and made it back to SAU in one piece.

PS - Robbie mentioned something interesting at Friday night supper.  I started reading the weekend schedule out loud.  At the top of the program it said, "Student Missions Exit Retreat."  Right after I read those words, Robbie said, "Why is it that Adventists are always retreating?  Shouldn't we be advancing instead?"  Profound?  I kind of thought so.

SM retreat

In an hour I'll be leaving for the annual SM retreat.  I'm not really super excited about the idea cause I have a lot of stuff that I could be doing this afternoon.  But oh well.  It's only tonight and tomorrow and we come back tomorrow night.  Anyway, have a good Friday night and Sabbath.  I'll tell you more about the retreat when I get back.
