College Life Winter Retreat

Two weekends back (2/6-2/8) we took our annual trip with the college kids up to Bear Valley Ski Resort for fun times in the snow, a break from Berkeley life, and as usual, an awesome meal from the Lee's.

The group was a little smaller this year, due to some last minute illnesses, but the snow was awesome, and the size of the group allowed for a more family-like atmosphere, as well as less hassle getting everyone moving in the same direction.

We got up on Friday evening, with a stop at In & Out on the way up of course, and spent Saturday on the slopes before the awesome dinner at the Lee's. Throughout the weekend we talked a bit about what the Lord has on His mind for us in terms of friendship, really acting out being the body of Christ to one another.

I continue to pray that the time spent together will produce lasting fruit in all of our lives, and in our relationships with one another.

"True Love: Fact or Fiction?"

This was the title of our latest WB (Weekly Bread) meeting with the college students. We've started an almost weekly gathering on Fridays with the students to talk over issues that concern college students. The format varies, but the goal is always to engage God's Word to see what God has to say about the issues and then look and see how they are playing out in our lives.

We had a few married couples come and join us this past week to share about their experiences of how God brought them together, their views on love, and answer any questions people had.

It was fun for Audrey and I to remember all that God has done in our lives over the past two and a half years and thank Him for it. I hope Valentine's Day was a chance for you to remember God's love for you as well in whatever way He has shown it to you!
