Solitary

Most of you know Brandon Hutchison our Outdoor Education Minister at Angus Church. Brandon and his wife Ashley have offered to host dinner and a devotional at their house every Thursday night this summer which is awesome. Brandon has also offered to do one of his outdoor programs with us, for free, during training week or soon thereafter. The program is called Solitary and sounds awesome. We would do some basic first-aid and survival training then head out to the woods to spend twenty-four hours totally alone with guided devotionals and bible readings so that we might focus totally on God and realign our priorities.

What do you think? Is this something you might be interested in doing? I realize that this would be way out of all of our comfort zones, in fact it sounds downright uncomfortable, but like Jesus spent 40 days alone in the desert before he started his ministry it could be pretty great for us to spend one day alone in the woods. I appreciate your feedback.
