Service- Going back to the Basics I’m sitting on a trailer picnic bench at 6:37 in the morning in rural Montana. I woke up to the sun, warm breeze and a drive around the lake. This weekend has been wonderful. I hitched a ride from Alberta last Thursday in order to make it to a wedding on Friday. Hannah and Dennis (Explore Directors) committed to a lifelong-journey on Friday on a sunny field at the base of the Mission Mountains. But enough of this romantic talk. The past two weeks have been jam packed of events I never dreamed could transpire to me. And sometimes there was a reason why I purposely did not dream them. We’ll just say that the term ‘poo-naumie’ was never a part of my regular vocabulary, and has now been added. It is a pleasure and a service to work with physically and cognitively disabled individuals at this Camp. I am learning what it means to serve in the most basic of ways, and recognizing that when Christ washed his disciples feet, it is my equivalent to swiping someones bum. Now imagine a last supper with that twist! What’s Next? We have one more day of adult camp, and then kids camp starts! Our first kid camp week is Ostomy ( learn about Ostomy’s here), and I’m really looking forward to hiking, eating s’more’s and laughing with these kids. God has been blessing me greatly in many ways. This summer is going to be full of stories. I just have to remember to record them (as I have an old fart as a brain). | | | | | |
