As you may know, if anyone is actually reading this anymore, I went on a retreat this weekend.
It was silly. some highlights include:
some that's what she said moments:
"It was long, and it was hard!"
"Yes, at the time, I had 120 men beneath me"
We also were at the retreat place at the same time as this group called AGLOW.. They were a bunch of born again people.
They really terrified my pants off. (though, oddly enough, my pants remained on.)
Alice and I went over to Chris, who was talking to a scary looking old guy and this other lady.. We dropped into a heated debate. We watched for a little while, and then the lady turned to us and then, she was like "do you have jesus in your heart??" and we were slightly afraid, so we just told her what she wanted to hear, and said, "yes...." and then she launched into a giant rant about how you need to let jesus into your heart, and you need to be reborn, etc. I really wasn't sure what to do. Alice was sitting there on my lap, the entire way through. she was staring off in different directions, and not focusing. She was scary, and she had long fingernails, so I couldn't think of anything else to do than sit there, look her in the eye and nod. finally, alice saved me from sitting there because i am not outspoken enough to say anything to stop her... by saying "uh, our youth group is having a hike, so we have to go.." and then we stand up, and so does she. and then she starts talking again. and alice says, uh sorry, we have to go. and shes like, i'd really like to stay in touch with you. and then alice says, um, we have a hike to go to. and then she turns to me... and she's like "you have a hunger in you soul, a hunger so deep, and god, he wants to come into your heart, and make you whole"
she terrifies me.
anyways...
darn. i was hoping this entry would be a happy one. not a creepy one.
