inner struggle

it reminds me of old-old times of our green and fragile administration when, with the best intentions, we were so overparticular, faultfinding and hypercritical. actually we were nice and cute as angels, or as children :) and trying to be noble and detached as well, we could not, I hope, make much harm, actually. it was ok for that time. we remember only good parts (may be not all of us, haha).

so. if a friend is inviting a bunch of delegates for his devotional meeting turning it into an introduction to a series of deepenings, just 1-2 weeks before the convention, is it appropriate to ask my self whether its a coincidence?
