Summer Camp Blog: THREE

Halfway done as Tuesday winds down.

I was remembering the days when I used to be a part of a youth pastor summer camp co-op deal and each pastor would have specific duty to perform at the camp (ie music, speaking, rec, free time, emcee, etc). It added to the stress of the week and just kept me away from my students and staff. That being said, I love Hume (and camps like it) because it allows me to just hang with my students, let my staff lead, and relax. Camp is something I look forward to.

The highlights of Tuesday include a very sick video that was shown during morning chapel that was a b & w visual adaptation of some spoken word song called “Legacy of Faith” I think. I am still trying to track it down.

For free time, I managed to convince a van load of my girls to let me take them to Pacific Beach instead of Mission so I could sit at Starbucks and read and work on the Ministry on Zero site. Of course, the female staff went too and of course I had to buy them ALL Starbucks…

…which turned out to be good thing because my church credit card was declined causing me to realize that someone hadn’t paid the bill. Good thing I found this out now instead of on Friday when we would have to fill up all of our vans with gas.

Tonight was “decision night.” Chris dropped it like it was hot (or so I heard), and 6 of my students got born. One of the most beautiful things to see is a junior high student who has been visibly shaken and is in tears over an encounter with God that they can’t reason with.

Days like today, I love my job.
