Quick Catch Up

Whew. Enjoyed the short break between junior high and senior high week. Actually not much of one, Saturday night "Collide" and I had the joy of attending a back yard barbecue for those interested in Bible quizzing; had great food, saw several old friends and met new ones, and the band led worship and I spoke. Senior highers arrived yesterday, small group; over half have been with me before, which makes for good, early connection.

The worship band is doing such a good job staying out of the way. By that I mean some "worship" bands (not just at camp) come across as performers in concert rather than facilitators of worship. Not "Collide." I've had the privilege of working with them for several years here at Crescent Lake...wish I could bring them to all the camps at which I speak.

On a light note, returning from church Sunday I stopped at a garage sale..nothing but junk. But as I left the seller said, "Why don't you take this thing..for free?" I thought that was a great price, knew that were I a counselor I'd have a great deal of fun with it...

Meet "Slasher" (Yes, I named it; and while I was introducing him to the staff and campers; God gave me a word (kidding!):  "Beware the Hare"...He is randomly appearing throughout the camp...this should be a good week...
