Camp Confessional #1

...from the overflow of the heart...

Everyone has shirts that you eventually stop wearing. Whether it be because you have gotten so many new ones and the old ones just get shoved to the back of the drawer, or you just get tired of them, or you have way to many facebook pictures with the same shirt and you decide to throw it out.

This shirt has been worn out, but I haven't worn it in about a year. I pulled it out the other day and so many memories came to mind.


I remember the hundreds of people who went up to camp agape for the first time

I remember the bus driver who nearly fell asleep...

...on the bus that eventually overheated..

I remember how the guys got the insane 1 mile walk to breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day

I remember the quite times at the picnic table, hidden from everyone else

I remember the nights of camp

I remember my counselor, and the rock that our tribe had

I remember the really long nights of just talking, talking about life, talking about God

I remember standing on the top of the hill and watching some good friends get baptized in the lake

I remember this thought...'what goes in, comes out'


Now we are 2 years later, Camp Flood 08; "Rain"

I can't wait to experience it. I can't wait to see some lives changed. I can't wait to be there. You know why? Because Camp only gets better! It doesn't get worse. It gets bigger. We as a staff push it to the limits, and my friends, I must say, camp this year is going to blow your minds!!! Want to know why? Well....come find out.

And maybe start checking this blog every single day, especially one week from now...
