Retreat 2012 Day 5


No beaches last night - yesterday was break camp day and start the journey back to Hampton. We managed to have everything broken down before showers came.

I have been reflecting this week on the story of the Macedonian Call and who may be calling us as a church. But sometimes there can be a danger in this.

On one of the nights while walking the beach or mostly granite type rock (Blandings Turtles make their nests on rocky beaches - they avoid gravel and sandy beaches), I noticed a quartz rock. Turning it over I saw the vein of fool's gold. This brought to mind the stories of gold mining in the area and those who had been fooled by the wrong rock.

In reflection I saw this as a warning to be careful as one determines Macedonian Calls. We have to be wary of choosing the fool's gold of Macedonian Calls.
