Football on the Lawn

Last month we had 20 young men from Regis High School on retreat here at Linwood and what a delight it was to be surrounded by such energy.  They have been here several times now and it is a joy to see them sprawled about, gangly legs splayed, playing guitar in the lobby, jackets strewn on the arms of chairs, munching on cookies; just the kind of things you expect teenage boys to do in their rooms, but here they were at our Spiritual Center soul searching and talking about God.

In between the soul searching, they had some downtime and launched a pick-up game of football.  Boys will be boys, it was a picture-perfect day on the river, and their whooping and hollering was a good indication that they were having a great time.  Come back anytime, fellas!  You keep us young.
