Alpha Retreat
February 24, 2006This weekend is the retreat weekend for the Alpha class we have been taking on Sunday nights. I missed out on the retreat last fall because we had to go to our friends’ wedding.
The small group we are in is nice, has two other young couples (one roughly our age and the other is about 7 years younger), and then two single young women a little younger than we are. There was another couple but they seemed to have dropped out. I think they will be a fairly decent group to spend a Saturday/Sunday with.
I hope this will give T a good opportunity to “gain some knowledge”, since that is what he claims is keeping him from making any sort of decision about Christianity. We have had some good talks on the way home from class on Sunday nights but he always says he doesn’t know enough to make any sort of decision. He has a hard time with the intangible concepts of Christianity.I have encouraged him to read the Bible starting with the Gospels, but he really has not followed up on that and I think he has seen a change in me since I made a real commitment to it in November, but I guess it isn’t enough for him to realize all of the benefits of taking that leap of faith.
I hope all goes well.
I’ll be praying for both of you.
