Men of Gracepoint, Fulfill Your Oaths, to Lord and Land

What some may regard as the most important improvement to our already wonderful Sierra Retreat, we’ve just installed blazingly bright lights on our basketball courts! 

We decided to go ahead and do this when many brothers came forward with great confidence and assured me that all brothers among us would generously contribute to the costs.  I’ve now forgotten who these brothers were, though.

But lest the soccer and football and ultimate players cry foul, we’ve also cleared out a portion of our property and made a nice, flat playing surface of 180’ by 80’ (that’s a pretty large field!).  We will need to install a nice lawn to make the field playable, but once this is done, our Sierra Lodge and Barn will truly become a full-fledged Sierra Retreat!

A light in the darkness... A beacon of hope

    Wow, let there be light! Now I’m really glad that we got PGE connected, otherwise Daniel will have to reset the generator after each basket.

    Since I’ve been in Vancouver this summer, I missed all the Sierra work and trips. :(

    I’m not a basketball player but last Sophomore retreat, I must say I was very excited to play with those lights on. Somehow I had my best game scoring more than half of the points for my team. If you were to ask me to replicate that…I probably wouldn’t be able to do that.
