We had a gret time this last weekend on the men's retreat. The fellowship and worship were sweet and the teaching was good. One of the reasons that I enjoy Gary Deaver's teaching is that, while not often spoectacular, is always steady and right on the mark. One of our sessions was spent on developing relationships as men. He said that every man should have 3 primary male relationships...some who can mentor you...someone who can come alongside and encourage us and one who we can mentor. This last one reminds me of something John MacArthur said once to someone who wanted to mentor others but felt he didn't know enough. MacArthur said to find someone who knows less than you do and teach him what you know. Pretty simple.
We also had a great hike on Saturday afternoon up at Armstrong Redwoods State Park. It was a very up-and-down hike but the scenery was well worth the effort. Our actual mileage was probaby a bit over 4 miles but effort-wise it was 6-7 miles.
This was probably my last retreat at Bay Hills as I can virtually guarantee that we will not be here next year at this time.
