This weekend was the Asker Retreat. "What is the Asker Retreat?" you may ask. Well the Asker Retreat is a retreat held at Asker Lutheran Church. I know this does not entirely clarify what an asker actually is but it seems to be simply a word created for the soul purpose of naming a particular Lutheran Church.
The cool thing about the retreat is that it is completely planned and run by the youth of Asker. Of course there is some adult supervision and the parent s are a great help in cooking and such but for the most part it is all them. And what a fine job they did.
One of the things the speaker, Tyler Vold, spoke about was about walking on God’s path, that’s the path that God has set out for you, and though other peoples paths may come along side yours your path was the one that God made for you. As opposed to the path that we often try to make for ourselves. Or the path that others make, that we decide we would be better off to follow. It was a good weekend. I think it is important for us to take time to remember we have a specific calling on our lives that God has designed for us. I often act like Peter that when Jesus is explaining my calling to me I look around and ask "What about him?" Of course the answer is always "Mind you r own buisness, this path is for you." I think I get to often occupied with where others are in comparison to myself (as if there can be a comparison between their paths and mine that wind different directions). Or I get too focused on where my next turn is that I don’t enjoy where I am at now.
Just a friendly note that if your path leads to playing Cross Country Spoons with twelve youth like people who are much more nimble and quicker onto their feet than you. It is a good idea not to be lying in the spot between them and the door. No matter how big you are they can still step on you and knee you in the face and such. In fact if the past two experiences with the game have taught me anything it is that if you play with people much smaller than yourself it is almost guaranteed that someone, most likely yourself and someone else, is going to have some form of painful injury. Just a heads up this is by no means discouragement from playing the most excellent of card games.
Peace guys have fun.
