An old friend, who also attended the Samson Society Fall Retreat last year, reached out to me last week to inquire if I would be attending this year's November 6-8, 2020 retreat in Eva, TN. I said yes, and this short exchange served as a reminder of what I have to look forward to.
Attending this retreat for Rob is akin to stepping into paradise on Earth. And that experience is centered around me not having any relational responsibilities whatsoever relative to Samson Society, taking into consideration those involved within the ministry here in Mississippi.
For me, it's not unlike attending an annual family reunion where it's super easy to simply sit back and people watch the +/- 100 men who'll also be attending.
Too, I love allowing the Holy Spirit to simply lead, and from there, connect / introduce myself to guys whom I've never met prior to asking to hear their stories.
Considering pragmatics, the drive up to Eva isn't necessarily short, but it's worth the jaunt.
Samson Society, for those like myself who've found so much timely value in it as a men's ministry, is an opportunity for men to serve each other via relational accountability, and this is akin / in line with my temperament. I do love that part of it.
The retreat is a celebration of that yearlong service, and therefore a time to recharge.
I can't wait!
