Small Groups

SO...I went to our Men's Retreat this last weekend. Friday started off good with golf with the guys. Pritam and Brandon were on my team...or was I on their team??? Anyways! The morning portion was great just catching up and making horrible shots:(

We had dinner...fried chicken, mashed potatos veggies...GOOD!

THEN...the meeting started! The speaker was good! Connected to everyone and showed a Harry Potter clip...don't get me started on that one, grown men really need to GROW UP...and then small groups:)

Small Groups are for connecting with other people! Working through good and bad times. Building trust. Loving one another. TALKING? I know what Small Groups are made for but as I sat in a group with a high schooler, college guy, me, a late 40 year old, 50+ elder and a 78 yr elder I was very confused! YES we all have a penis but there is so much seperating us from each.

I walked away from that night asking how do my students feel in their SG? DO they feel comfortable? Is there more community? Do they really care about each other? Just a lot to think about and put me right in the middle of what I'm trying to accomplish.

I think I'm going to the Woman's Retreat next year cause they don't even get in SG! It's hard enough for men to talk about their feelings, woman don't even try:)



There was a lot of this stuff going on! Not Asian guys but lots of hugging!
