Hey guys; I'm not one of the regulars here, but I do like to pop on over from TNDeer, one of my usual haunts, to see your reports of success and near-success from time to time. Also brushing elbows with one Mr. Simms has caused me not only to shower more frequently, but to keep my nose into the business of the CFFs.
I'm the youth minister at Hickory Valley Christian Church, where I've been just about ten years now. I'm putting together a retreat for youth ministers from across the state. The idea is to have a REAL retreat, not just a place you send them to have someone lecture them on what they should do better. I'm planning two days for six guys of nothing but recreation and down-time. They have no idea what's in store, and I hope to push them out of their normal schedules into some new horizons. We're going to do some shooting one afternoon, perhaps have a chef come teach us to cook something new for dinner, perhaps even head up the mountain to sit back and watch the sun go down from a few lounge chairs.
It occurs to me that perhaps an early morning or evening fishing trip, just a couple hours, might be something these particular guys have never done. I have a good solid jon boat that I can put two guys in, maybe three, but that would leave three guys. Knowing the comraderie on here, and the type of folks that some of you are, I'm just throwing this out on the chance that one or two of you would enjoy ministering to the ministers for a change. These six guys are all level-headed men in their mid-thirties, cream of the crop kind of guys. Another boat or even two would make this happen. Perhaps it would even provide a meal! Ahhhh... a fish fry, with boat captains invited, of course!
A lack of response on this won't upset things in the least, so don't feel obligated or anything. I just figured I'd not pre-decide that it couldn't happen, and toss some bread out on the water. The dates for the retreat are on a Monday and Tuesday, September 24-25th (not a lot of weekends off for these guys!).
Thanks in advance for taking a look. Feel free to email me at keithbud @ comcast.net if you have any questions, want more details.
