Consulting in Gruyères
We got to hang out in one of the most beautiful places in Switzerland a couple of weeks ago: Gruyère. Wife and I took a small assignment with a nearby consultant and worked with students graduating with a BA in the Hospitality Management. I did a short seminar on interviews and work styles, then interviewed 18 students. Wife corrected reports that outlined students’ strong points, suggested where to focus their energies and where they would make the greatest impact.
It was the first time in over 8 sessions that I’ve done these interviews with future graduates that one of the students mentioned he was a Christian. (He said he wasn’t a very good one.) In his 3 years of studies, he had never tied into a spiritual family. He had never prayed or worshiped with brothers and sisters.
No happy ending, really. It’s just something that he let happen. And it had darkened his heart.

I don’t know how to pronounce that beautiful place in Switzerland, but will look it up on Google. As for your friend … I’ve known far too many people who were “at church” every Sunday and never really tied into a spiritual family. Either way, it’s sad. Glad you’re back to blogging again!! Missed you.
