Here is an image that encapsulates my weekend.

This, my friends, was Dan Schacht’s (man in the black t-shirt in the bottom row) first ever, human pyramid!

This weekend a bunch of us rascals from campus ministry took a retreat to Riverwoods Christian Center out in St. Charles (only about 45 minutes away). It was a really sweet time for us to just get away from the hectic schedules most of us keep. (Especially around mid-terms). You can see from the photo below that I got plenty of rest.

We spent most of our time just hanging out with each other. We played two really intense games of capture the flag, in the woods, which ended in a draw between the two teams. My team, which will now be referred to as “team win”, was made up of some stud athletes, including NCC’s own, Director of Campus Ministry, Jeremy K Gudauskas. (Add him as your friend on Facebook.. it’ll be great.) He brought our team to victory by making a seamlessly executed sweep behind the jail of the other team and out of enemy territory with the flag to end the game. Gorgeous. All I did was distract the other members of the team by running wildly toward the base from the other side of the jail. All props go to our fearless leader.

The rest of the weekend was spent enjoying some quiet time and worship. We had some really talented musicians with us, fortunately, which made for 4 guitars worth of necessary, and unplanned for, luggage space.

Now I am back at school, after watching the best Super Bowl in history (yes, I said it). Go Giants. My to-do list is a little out of control, but it seems much more manageable after this great weekend.
