During our men's retreat a couple of weeks ago, I had some time to think about things I wanted to write about. There are some things that just tug at your writing strings and others that you can shrug off. One, I will make it a point to not tube while Mike Wall is driving a sea-doo and two, why does it take a retreat for us to get spiritually closer to each other? Isn't that what church is about? It's like we ignore each other for 51 weekends out of the year and then, magically for one weekend, it all comes together.
If we're to define "retreat", isn't the true definition to be "treated again". That prefix, "re-" to do something over or to do something again. It had been a while since I've been to a church retreat but it still amazes me how we, no matter our age, still need reminding of some of the simplest things that God asks us to do. To love each other and be there for one another and nothing is more important than our relationship with God. Our excuses have no place at the foot of the cross. Wouldn't it be great if church was our retreat?
