Tea Time

To start off I want to apologize for not posting so often. I think that it might be a result of school really starting to kick into gear, and what I mean by gear is not 3rd or 4th but about 8th and then all of a sudden into reverse. You might think that a car can't go from 8th gear to reverse, at least I did, and then I opened the door to week 5 and 6 of school and well we went from 8th gear to reverse. It's a pretty crazy time right now on campus. We have reached the time of the quarter where so much is happening that it is hard to capture it in words so I'm going to do my best to describe a few things that have occured this past week.
Last weekend was Fall Retreat 06 at Hume Lake which was an amazing experience. I'm not even sure how to begin to describe it other than mind blowing, way to quick, and a sweet time with the broski's. For me, fall retreat started thursday night when our band began our marathon practice which set the stage for the weekend. We practice in the dungeon for 5 hours and for some reason it didn't seem that long. In fact it was awesome for me cause while we were practice we were all able to worship freely and enjoy God's presence. About 3 hours after practice we woke up again and left for the mountains. Our car ride was full of dinosour fruit snacks, teddy grams, and red bull. On the way up we attempted to play catch with the teddy grams between cars. Instead of catching the teddy's the hit Lissa's windshield. Let me tell you it was a teddy gram blood bath on her windshield. It was just like bugs getting splattered all over the windshield except they were poor little teddy's. As far as the weekend itself, I had a great time just enjoying God's creation and being in His presences. I also had the best worship experience of my life, and that might have been because we woke up morning at 6 to practice. If you want to know more about the weekend just ask or I could just write forever, but it was great.
Tea at the heart has become a weekly occurance that is a tradition we would like to continue for months to come. It has become one of my favorite parts of the week. Tea at the heart is wednesday nights after crusade when we have tea, cookies, and usually a great discussion question. The weekly regulars usually include; bruiser, hangman, lefty, splitpea, and patch. There are a variety of others who add to our great night. Tea at the heart is truely a sophisticated event for tea is involved. This last week we had a special guest and live music by our very own Patch, aka pat little. Come join us next week and who knows what could happen. Enjoy the great weekend.
Until next time-Keith
