On Thursday September 14th, our leader Don tried out something a little different for our Thursday night meeting. We started out the first hour of the night’s meeting by having our sharing hour first. We were split up into smaller groups, and written on paper each group was given a “ situation “.  Our goal in each group was to come up with solutions for these specific situations.

My group had a fictional character, who went by the name of Tex. We were told that Tex was being rather difficult, and needed to be “ put in his place “

So, the task of our group was to come up with a few ideas. 

Some of our ideas were; maybe we needed to be direct with Tex, and in a diplomatic way “ put him in his place “  We also thought about ignoring Tex, and hoping he would take the hint and learn from the experience. Or we also thought about calling him out in front of others, and re-directing the focus back on Tex.

The format of group tonight was a nice change of pace. I really enjoyed it.  I felt like it challenged those of us who were there to come up with solutions to everyday situations we may run across. Maybe even taking us out of our comfort zone for awhile.  Broadening our horizons you could say! 

Thanks to Don for this uniquely challenging idea!
