oh man....i wish i could explain everything that i/we were up to...but...ummm...some things are better left un-typed. ;)
as many people know, i've had my socks blessed off by many of the books by john eldredge. i still find the reaction of some to his material to be a bit comical, but everyone is truly allowed their own opinion. it's not that he's an uber-idol or even has the amazing program for a perfect life...he's just a guy that wrote some books about his relationship with god. turns out...his thoughts actually helped me meet god in a more personal and profoundly real way. i'm a jesus-lover...not an eldredge-disciple. (but i thank eldredge for pointing a finger...) ;)
so...one of the books that i loved....needed...was 'captivating'. it's a celebration of the feminine heart...and our hottie god that made us to dance with him. well, i had the opportunity to go to a retreat that was based on the material. it was very good...and they accentuated the material with wonderful stories and movie clips. excellent!
of course, not everything was totally perfect. there were some downers, some shockers...but honestly...the deficits only invited us to come up with our own "enhancements". that was great for drawing us together...for supporting each other...we even had a lady decide that she wanted to know jesus!!! so...it was great!
you know what i've decided....well, maybe i should say "what fire has been lit again"...i think i want to do these kinds of retreats or seminars or meetings. i have to start marchin' in that direction again soon. hmm...i wonder how that could work out...
