Too funny...

As we read last night at small group, we came across the well-known “fruits of the flesh/fruits of the spirit” passage.

Galatians 5:19-26 (NKJ):

BottlesNow the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Immediately after someone read the “fruits of the flesh” part, my friend, Todd jokingliy interjected, “Sounds like our men’s retreat.”

I almost lost it.

(Of course, the men’s retreat isn’t exactly like that.)

We leave Friday evening and don’t get home until Monday. I hope we have as much fun as last year... But, we are missing a couple of key people this time (this one will be sorely missed).

Rob was just telling me last night that he was going to miss the mens’ retreat this weekend. He’s bummed.

Have a great time guys!
