Where Did the Time Go?

"Lights Out and Good Night" to quote one of our campers who loves praying to close out evening chapel.

We started with Staff Training back in May and tomorrow is the last day... 12 weeks summer!  This photo encapsulates that "Week 12" feeling...

ITS BUSY. We certainly weren't sitting on our hands the whole time.  Camp is hard work.  Shepherds Camp is very hard work.  And we like hard work.

ITS FUN.  Who else gets to have over 100 people staying at their place for 3 months.  To us, the 24/7 camp lifestyle is fun.  (Note the counselor dead center in the photo who looks like he's letting out a big yell)

IT'S BLURRY.  After three months of ministry and pushing hard to finish strong, the whole thing feels a little blurry.

IT'S COLORFUL.  Camp is one of the most dynamic ministries I have ever experienced (Yes, I am biased).  There is never a dull moment.

IT'S CRAZY.  It's crazy how fast 3 months flies by.  It's crazy how a group of 40 college students, high schoolers and twenty-somethings (I'll just lump myself in that group) can become a family.  It's crazy that God would be pleased to use a guy like me and people like us for His kingdom work.

Merry Christmas!

TBT - Burlap and Dr. Seuss

Light weight, long lasting and American made (or American re-purposed).  It's something wonderful with endless possibilities.  It's the kind of thing a good Dr. Seuss book would be based on. 

Do people under the age of 30 even know what a burlap sack is?  If not, then of course they wouldn't know all the other uses for it either.

The Sleepy 5k for Arrowhead

Investments and pledges have already started coming in for the Sleepy 5k.  Join us in raising funds and running (or napping) for 165 brand new mattresses for the dormitories here at camp.  Check the blog and Facebook for updates on our progress - the Beard Chart will let you know how we're doing.
