Youth retreat

I hope you got a look at Saturday’s post. The three racers did well, though times were slower than last year. It was the hottest day of the year (so far), about 78 degrees. The runners were not used to that kind of heat so they slowed the pace. But Wife placed 10th out of the 130 in her category, and 19th out of the broader category.

Those of us who went to the near-Paris retreat enjoyed the weekend. Well, the kids loved it. Not much sleep, but lots of food and beautiful weather. New songs and times of fellowship with Bible study gave us opportunities to grow. The youth wore themselves out on the soccer field.


Here’s the place we spent the weekend. There was a 200 year old Giant Sequoia at the end of the drive and a beautiful rose garden near the entrance. An old chapel was off in one corner as well as living quarters for those who come regularly for spiritual retreat.

Ever had a youth activity in a place like that?
