So, I know I am late in posting this, but in my defense I have not sat down since returning from Ski Retreat on Saturday evening. Let me tell you, we have the best students in the world at Coastal. I had the privilege of driving the Middle School van and leading the Middle School cabin for the four days we were in Gatlinburgh, TN. It was a blast! Here are a few of my most memorable moments:
- The personal encounter time in the morning and evening. Loved seeing the students getting into the Word of God and CONNECTING with Him.
- Seeing Jeremiah wipe out at the END of the slope. Still haven't figured out how he fell. He just kind of tipped over. :)
- Myself falling over more when I was in the line for the lift than when going down the hill.
- Seeing the Claudes!
- Mastering (Ok, maybe not mastering) the Bear's Run, and Castle slopes.
- Connecting with some of the High Schoolers that I hadn't really gotten to know. Mainly Dillon, and Jamie.
- Hanging out with the middle schoolers until Midnight every night.
- Getting to know Donna more. Cool volunteer!
- Getting to talk to my wife and son at home in the evenings. :) I missed them!
- Certain things that people had thrown into the trees on their way up the ski lifts... None of our students did this... it was just interesting to see what other people had thrown off the ski lifts. I'll leave it at that.
- How well behaved our students where. I have been on a lot of youth events and this one ranks up with the best. Hardly any issues of discipline were necessary.
- I am glade Cameron S. was able to ski the second day. He was sick the first day.
- Walking around Gatlinburgh Friday evening.
- The excellent meals the the Beams coked for us!
- The entire middle school van singing Gwen Stefani at the top of there lungs at 10:30 p.m. on our way back to the cabin.
- Whitney thinking that lights on a hill were stars, and a Burger King sign was the moon. I will never again look at a BK sign the same. Thanks Whitney.
Well, those are just some memories of ski retreat. I can't wait until Summer Retreat! Comment back with your most memorable moments!

Most memorable... UMMMMM I have a lot of memories. But I think the shredded paper game and lipstick games were hilarious.
