How do you tell if you had a great teenage weekend retreat or not?

You could count the number of wounded (one broken arm, one foot in the eye).
How ‘bout the number of conversions? (0 and still counting).
Maybe the hours of sleep you got per 24h? (outside of the Bible studies, about 6.5 hours). [...]

It’s time for our yearly All Saints Teenage Retreat in beautiful Ardêche, France. Even though it’s not quite All Saints Day and even though I’m not a teenager, we’ll be attending for the 15th time. This is only my ninth time to direct it. And there is a great group of workers who support this [...]

Today was Mme Mosimann’s 91st birthday, so Wife prepared cupcakes and Ukrainian honey cookies for the Tuesday prayer group. After the prayers, the ladies and two pastors came [...]

Monday’s a big day. Son 1 will be an official university student, attending classes in the Lausanne University’s Police and Forensic Science department, studying chemistry and biology, math and computers.

“Well, I just changed my medication and am having trouble getting used to it.”
“So it’s making it [...]

Here is a picture of some of the folks Son 1 and I were with a week ago in Germany. A great group!
Enjoy the day…
 

The freeway between Lausanne and Geneva is a great 4 lane road but very, very busy. The 40 minute trip is often double that because of the heavy non-flow of traffic. The speed limit is 120 kilometers per hour (kph), that’s 74.564543 miles per hour for those of you who speed in the USA.
From January [...]

Son 1 and I spent last weekend at a retreat center about 45 minutes north of Frankfurt in Germany. He went as a participant, I as the speaker. The theme chosen for the Singles’ retreat was “A life of significance” and the main text that they gave me was the wonderful list of spiritual blessings [...]
