My Favorite Staff Retreat Stuff in No Particular Order

-Bingo-

$5 for over an hour of entertainment with great friends, a chance to win some moola, and a whole bunch of old people.  Priceless.

-Prayer- 

Scott R. directs us in a time of prayer where we offer up short statements about things for which we are thankful.  And we have a heck of a lot to be thankful for.  

-Bruce- 

He is an inspiration to me.  He's transparent and vulnerable to his staff.  He's honest about his struggles.  He's got a huge heart that can't help but love people - even difficult people. And he's just a little bit too hard on himself.

-The Lazy River- 

Our resort had one of those lazy rivers where you float around in circles on an inner-tube.  So me, Billy, Matt, Dave, and Curtis took our bad selves and our big guts down there for a while and floated, played, talked, and laughed.  Later Jeff joined the fun.  The rest of the people were all families and retired couples, so we stuck out just a little bit.  I'm pretty sure they were laughing at us.

-Basketball...  Not! 

Jeff and Matt made Billy, Dave and I feel old on the basketball court. I'm still trying to catch my breath.

-Youth-  

I love that there are seven people on staff who are younger than me.  They bring so much energy and insight with them, and they challenge the things that are established.  

-Age- 

I love that there are eight people on staff who are older than me and I get to be a benefactor of their wisdom and experience.  

-Right in the middle-  

It's a unique and amazing place to be.  Too bad it's temporary.

-Excitement-  

We're all in this exciting place together and the next few years are going to be an incredible adventure.  We all know it.  And we're pumped.  Bring it baby!

-Coming Home-  

What a blessing to have an amazing wife and a couple of awesome little spazoids to come home to. Love it.
