| From Calistoga 2008 |
Last weekend, I joined a few friends for our "Annual Deep Think" in Calistoga at a very simple resort (Mountain Home Ranch). We've been doing this for ten years now. The objective is to get some extended time alone with God, apart from the distractions of regular life, in the company of friends. There's virtually no "program", and the keynote speaker is God. I usually come with a few questions on my mind. I think about big-picture stuff, annual goals, and so on. I find a nice perch in the woods, along a stream, or on the edge of a cliff somewhere. I read the Bible. I talk to God. I talk to my friends. I try to listen :)
It's an awesome experience! The natural setting really helps me "get in the zone." I'd share a few questions or themes with you, but they're not exactly ready for print. However, if you'd like to join us next year, then you could engage in the process and you would hear a lot of good questions and stories!

I'd love to join you next year. I like when God is the keynote speaker. He rarely uses "fluffy" PowerPoint presentations to get His point across. I have found in my silent, meditative, obedient listening, I am ususally just wacked across the head with His will and direction (He knows the stubborn nature of my being). Good to find you, my friend. Please vist me as well at http://reflectingonscripture.blogspot.com. We should meet some time for lunch. I am working as a Project Analyst (purposely vague) at Devine Tarbell Assoc. in Natomas. Cell: 842-7314. God bless you and your family. Rick Stassi
