So I enjoyed working on my Fritaly blog so much that I'm at it again. I texted Jason (the dean of the camp and my oldest friend) to see if there is wifi at camp, and hallelujah, there is!! I initially asked because my lesson--one that incorporates color imagery in the Bible and also friendship bracelets--would be made better with some youtube tutorials... but now I know there's wifi... so I can blog from my cabin.... :-) :-)
Readers who know me well know that camping is not really My Thing; so why am I going? Guilt. Guilt and peer pressure. And my friendship with Jason. Also Tricia will be there. So off I go! Packing now for the three days I'll be helping out (since I *just* got back from Europe, I was granted some time off for recovery, so while Tricia and Jason have been there since Sunday, I'll be joining them on Wednesday and I'll be replacing the mysterious Sarah, who needs to leave on Wednesday). It'll be interesting to see how the kids bond to the "new Sarah"; kind of nervous about this--high school kids are much more my scene than 5th and 6th graders. But it's good to step outside one's comfort zone, right? Right.
Am actually looking forward to getting there; camp always kind of recharges the Christian batteries. Seeing what faith looks like in the eyes of a child can invigorate even a hardened heart full of suspicion and doubt and jaded reactions to life's issues. Kids at camp are into the spirit full tilt--especially by day three, which is when I'll be getting there. Am hoping the mosquitos have had their fill of Christian activities and have headed out to other arenas, though. We'll see.
Well, then, I'm off to pack up my stuff again--living out of a suitcase is becoming a theme in summer 2014.... :-) It's FABULOUS.
What a fabulous theme of your summer! And such good work you do!
