Just a quick note to say we had a good time in Vegas, despite a number not being able to make it who had planned to, we still had 16 adults present, from 7 different states. 10 of those folks were new to Biblical Families retreats, but we quickly got comfortable together -( perhaps a bit too comfortable, eh, Seth?) Lots of personal journey sharing ensued, and some challenging questions on scripture interpretation were debated - especially over meals (likely a bit too loudly, raising some eyebrows in the Japanese restaurant). We kept each other on the straight and narrow on a couple of downtime walks to the "Strip" (or "another Planet", as Doc put it) - just to see the Bellagio fountain and seasonal decorations, of course!
I don't think we'll be meeting in Vegas again soon, but at least we did get to meet a couple Vegas local gentlemen, one of whom had been hoping we'd come here for some time.
I hope some other attendees will use this thread to share their take-aways.
Oh, and someone who shall remain nameless chose to "out us" to hotel staff, but, hey, it's Vegas, and we never heard a negative peep.
