Today I had the privilege of attending father tom's church in Casper, it was a very encouraging time and I have yet to walk away from that place without a sense of peace and without being encouraged.
I also packed up my stuff and left 'home' behind again... the apartment I've been in was fantastic and I really needed the downtime. I'm tremendously grateful for the last few days but it's time to return to Rimrock and finish the marathon we began 47 days ago.
We grouped up in the parking lot of a local church in Casper and after juggling stuff and seating assignments all of the vehicles headed out to camp. I am also happy to report that all of them arrived in a timely manner and without any incidents.
We arrived at camp, and training began for the new week... for the weekly volunteers it's a bit of an orientation, for the summer long staff it's a reminder of a few things and tells us what might be different about that particular week. We were reminded of the privilege of doing this for two more weeks, and then that window closes for another year... two weeks, a tough haul but also a blink of the eye. Pray that we finish well.
I've also got two last thoughts, first is our theme this week. Unlike many other camps ACK camps have a weekly director that writes unique curriculum for their week. This was instituted as a means to utilize more volunteers and as a way to insure that the program does not become stale or predictable to the staff by this time in the summer. This tradition is somewhat chaotic at times but it also helps staff growth. This week is no exception, The theme we have is amazing grace. We've been encouraged to practice and encourage grace and while this should be a good experience it also strikes me in the same vein as praying for patience... prayers in this would be appreciated.
annd... now i'm out of time so I'll talk about the other thing later.
