was on last year. She said it's basically a bunch

of kids getting together for a weekend to do some listening and talking with each other. No booze,to hide behind. She said it's a weekend away with your— self. But you know what struck me? The whole time she was talking about it, the girl half—forgot she

was talking tomeJ She wasn't even trying to con—' Vince me to go. She was Just doing a little talk— ingland a lotta smiling and thinking back. That's what got me thinking this ACT might be a better way to spend a weekend than sitting around some swizzle—stick heaven.

Paul/ But I thought the ACT weekend was all about God.

Greg/ That's what I asked too. The girl said God was the centre of the whole thing. And the way she ‘

.-said that....that's when I decided to go.

Paul/ Is that all she said about the God part of it?

Greg/ No- I think the last thing she said had something to do with the God part. I asked her what the main thing she got out of the weekend was. She that during ACT, she found out that the part of her she'd always felt was missing, didn't have to be. And you know that word ‘joy’? When she I said ‘joy’ you could feel the word.

Paul/ You don't really think this ACT weekend is gonna be that great, do you?

Greg/ I kinda think it will be.
