Cisco Family Retreat

This past weekend I had the pleasure of 3 devotionals at key times of the day, three different days. It was awesome. We had our annual Cisco Family Retreat this past weekend and I hadn't been in quite a few years. Things got in the way, and one thing after another, I just hadn't fit it in my schedule. It was so much fun that I'm really sorry that I didn't go the last few times.

I arrived first on the scene around 1:00pm to unload the food items and set up my camper. Why the camper you ask? Well, it's a really long story and I really shouldn't get into it here. After unpacking and setting up the camper, I began on supper. I made two roaster pans of lasagna and then I had help putting together the garlic bread and green beans, tea and coffee, and salad. Everyone was there by 7:00ish and we ate and had a great time.

I must have played 50 hands of 42 throughout the weekend. Also, I played one game of scrabble, a little horseshoes, and visited a whole lot.

I also just realized that if I give a blow by blow account of this it will be a very very long blog. So, I won't. We had a midnight devo on Friday evening. We had a sunset devo on Saturday evening and a sunrise service on Sunday morning.
The Sunday morning service was so great. The sun came up over the horizon and we were singing and I just can't describe it. People were snapping pictures, and you would have thought it was the first act of your kid's play at school. Everyone thought it was great. We really, really had a good time.

All of the people that were there had nothing but good things to say about the entire weekend. We had a fully cooked breakfast with sausages, gravy, bisquits and eggs and then for lunch on Saturday we had sandwiches. Then we pulled out the grill and had hamburgers and hotdogs for supper. After the sunrise service on Sunday morning we had muffins and cinnamon rolls and bisquits and jelly.

Oh, my I can't say enough about how good it was. We rested, we played, we hiked and we fellowshipped. Did I say I had a good time?
Well, I'm gonna close for now, I may just have to write more later.

see ya next year!
