First day reflection

It's been an amazing first day at Wildwood. It's so great to get up here where we're not allowed to have watches. One of the ideas up here is to remove the element of "schedule" from our thinking. There is a schedule, but it's essentially invisible to us. They blow a conch shell when it's time for us to head to the next thing. Sometimes we know what that is, and sometimes we don't.
Not having to worry about the schedule is great for everyone. It allows all of us to just relax and enjoy the day. We started with breakfast (Pancakes, bacon, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and fresh fruit - I eat better here than I do at home) then had a quiet time reading through several chapters in John. We're looking at John 15 this week and what the true definition of a disciple is. After time in Scripture, we headed out to morning activities.
Each day we have a different activity. My group had G.I. today. (Group initiative) Hard to explain, so I'll oust some pictures in the morning.
The rest of the day was quite relaxing.
For the evening, Rich Ferria, just back from a trip to the middle east, led us in a Seder. What a beautiful picture of the Gospel! It's amazing how God has been painting such a beautiful picture of the redemption of His people. I'm constantly amazed at who He is and what He has done for me. We truly serve an awesome God!

Soli Deo Gloria!
