Weekend Retreat

The men at Celebration! had a great retreat this past weekend up at Muskrat Lake. Sure it rained constantly through the entire weekend, and we had to cancel most of our activities due to various circumstances, but they weren't the purpose of the retreat anyways.

Our goal is to step up. Step up to the plate in our goals, our jobs, our ministries, our relationships, and our families.

Coincidentally, I was just reading through the Genesis and the story of Noah's Ark in my leadership bible. He was a simple ordinary man, called by God. He had no special leadership qualities, other than the fact that he was willing to give up whatever it took to follow God.

And in light of the flood, sometimes you need to step up, to give up, to go up!
