Jim is the author of the book, Good to Great. The book has sold over 3 million copies. Here is a quote he made at the recent Catalyst Conference in Atlanta,
“It make take 30 years to build a reputation. Never forget it only takes 30 seconds to destroy it.”
This past weekend, we took a 16 Middle School students to the Great Commission MS Retreat. The retreat this year was held at Heartland Retreat and Conference Center in Marengo, OH. The grounds were absolutely beautiful!
The theme of the conference was, Go! Wake Up Your World! The speakers were great along with the worship.
Below are pics of the skit night which was on Saturday.
I would definitely encourage ALL of our MS students to attend next year!!!!
It was good to sleep in this morning. Though we had a lot we wanted to do with our last day we felt it would be good to get some rest.
We woke up and headed down to the Coffee Cartel for breakfast and internet connection.
After breakfast, we went to see a movie, Lakeview Terrace. It was a pretty good movie. I would give it a grade of B.
We then headed over to the Great Forest Park Balloon Race. To see these balloon the night before was neat but to see them during the day in all their color was truly spectacular.
The Pepsi Skydiving Team performed before the race.
At 5:00 pm the race began.
What an amazing event to see and be a part of!!
That evening we went to the Pasta House for dinner.
The food was fantastic.
After shopping and picking up last minute souvenirs, we decided to head back to the hotel to get things ready to leave the next morning.
Overall, Anna and I had an amazing time and the people of St. Louis were incredibly friendly. We are excited about heading back again for another getaway!
