The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions

Today I had a retreat. Not very inspiring but fun yes. We started out by dividing up into two groups and playing Alaskan Baseball (which by the way if you don't know what that is it has nothing to do with Alaska or baseball) We also did some kind of tight rope walking where the cord was only like a foot off the ground but I took someone out when I fell.(Not literally knocked them out but I did knock them over) It was all much fun..much more fun than any other retreat I've ever been to.

It's kind of hard to get 'in touch' with your faith if the people helping you aren't very enthusiastic about it. Last year we had a different leader, Paul, who threw a fit the whole time because we refused to listen to him and we basically sat there the whole time not talking. This time we had some younger students of Lynchburg College who basically just let us do whatever, so naturally I had fun. I hung out with Liam(....ah Liam) and it was fun.
Have any of you ever been on a retreat? If so what was it like? Does going on a retreat sound like the kind of thing you would want to do?
