Well, I’m back from the cool, peaceful, and relaxing Prescott Pines retreat for Singles & Others, 2007. A fun time was had by all, and Jeff didn’t have any kidney stones. If you went to the retreat, I personally thank you for coming and making this time what it was. Especially Brenda, the organizer of all this chaos…thank you so much.
We then came back to church…and it was definitely worth it. Shaunti Feldhahn came to our church to speak, and it was spectacular. She spoke about her first book, “For Women Only: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men”…and all I can say is that there are some amazying truths that were discussed about some common misconceptions about how the male mind works. The one that really stuck out in my mind is the one about how fragile the male ego really is. I know that people normally see me as a hyper-sensitive male, and probably part of that is true. However, I believe that part of that is also because I let my true feelings out when I’ve been hurt by something. If a woman hurts my ego, I either tell her about it or withdraw…and I know that there is more than one person that wishes I would “grow up”. But I would rather be honest about my feelings, and work it out with that person than to just pretend everything is OK.
Well, more to come during the week. Bubba sez God bless.
