Unplugged

Quite the weekend we had.
We got back from Unplugged today, the first cruise getaway FRC has ever put on, to my knowledge. Think summer camp for grownups, and it'll kind of give you an idea of how it all went down.
I think for most of us, it served it's purpose as a much-needed chance to step back from life and examine a life that might have been lacking in that area. In a display of multitasking that makes me tired to even think about it, I attempted to be the trip cameraman, an assistant tech guy, a band member, part-time photographer, and an attentive fiancé, sometimes all at once. If that wasn't difficult enough, I was trying to do all this while attempting to learn and relate with the people around me.
It was a blast, though, and at the end of it the tiredness I feel is the kind that comes at the end of a true effort, which I can accept.

There were some neat moments, but I'll stick to just one; the world has been swaying back and forth since I got off the boat, and I think I need to lay down (It feels great when I'm laying down, but makes sitting or standing upright a little tricky).
As the weekend went on, our group kept getting bigger, and we had several people join us in our sessions after having either heard about us or overheard us as they walked by. One couple even lived near the church, and I overheard them talking about checking out Flamingo. It was a very cool reminder that God's always working even we we think we're not.
