Last Friday, at lunch Emily and some friends of ours discovered that I have never seen "The Sound of Music." Conveniently, our friends had the movie. Friday and Saturday night, we watched The Sound of Music and a Quentin Tarrentino movie. I can honestly say, I doubt I will ever watch The Sound of Music again. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but I spent most of the movie hoping I was watching the last scene. It's not really that the movie was bad. I just never got interested. I appreciate the soundtrack, just didn't really care that much about the characters. I laughed throughout the Tarrentino movie (not typing the name b/c it involves profanity). Emily laughed through most of it, but got angry when the movie ended the way most Tarrentino movies end.
Otherwise, I had another new experience this weekend. I drove to a monestary near Brussels to provide a worship service for the end of a Protestant Women of the Chapel Retreat. I realized that in almost 13 years of working in churches, this is the first women's group I'd ever preached to. Somewhat of an intimidating experience for whatever reason. The monestary grounds were amazing. I'd love to use the monestary for a personal or group retreat. The grounds were beautiful. I never saw any of the monks. I think most of their areas are in wings other than the ones used for retreats.
