back from the retreat, catching up

Driving home this afternoon from our GREAT retreat, I was thinking what a busy fall I'm in the middle of... the beginning of school, the bi-annual retreat, next up is interims (ugh), football games, a wedding to do in Oct, a CEO meeting in Oct. to get ready for in mid-Oct, a CEO trip to get ready for... man, it'll be Nov. before I get to breathe...

I cleaned out my inbox, SO, I get this email from a friend. A fwd... (have I ever mentioned how annoyed I get at some fwds?) I often delete fwds, but I looked at this one. It was about British Muslims and the hatred that surrounds them. They carried placards of real hate. I was shocked and concerned. I invested some time researching this issue and discovered that most of the stuff out there is from "anti-" groups, either anti-God, anti-Muslim, anti-liberal, or anti-something. It was saddening. I wrote my friend that only the work of Jesus in hearts or His return will bring this to an end.

...sort of related...

From MSN.COM, "Greenspan charts our economic course in 'The Age of Turbulence." Who is Greenspan kidding? Please tell me an "age" during the existence of the human that WASN'T an 'age of turbulence'?

next post will have some quotes from the talks at the retreat...
