So I just got a call from one of the two other co-leaders of the men's ministry at my church. Said he spoke with Joe Kearns. For those that don't know, Joe is a man that has been in the ministry for 58 years. Married for 61. A man's man. Somebody whose life I've always respected since I met him just over a year ago.
What did Joe say to my co-leader? "Best retreat I've ever attended."
This is a man with 58 years of ministry under his belt. Has likely been to more retreats then I am years old. You can't ask for better words of praise.
Bad part of it all? Now we have to live up to it again next year!!
