The Single Most Important Thing

"Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." -Matthew 6:33 (MSG)

silly singles Posted by Hello

Rain, rain , rain was all that was forecasted in Gemunden, Germany this past weekend. It poured for about 30 minutes late Friday night like the Weatherman predicted, but then the sky cleared and the sun shone through for the rest of the weekend! (many thanks to those of you who were praying!) It was a very successful time as 30 singles from Belgium, Poland, Holland and Germany gathered to encourage one another and learn from God's word. In between Clint Everhart's lessons we enjoyed playing many games like fooseball, volleyball, table tennis, and frisbee. We also made good use of the fun zip line and sang praise to God around the bonfire with glistening stars overhead. Oh, and I learned how to whistle by using my fingers--the loud way! We Dresdners will be organizing the next retreat in October as well, and I'm looking forward to being reunited with my brothers and sisters again. There's no better way to spend a weekend!
