This Crazy Life

It's getting up in the wee hours of the morning. It's pancakes for breakfast and pizza for dinner. It's complaining voices and happy giggles. It's salty tears, salty sweat, and salty swimming. It's rowboats and volleyball. It's songs and laughter. It's Bible study and hungry hearts. It's skits and hilarity. It's preaching and whispering. It's going to bed in the wee hours of the morning.

It's going and going and going until you can't go anymore...and then going some more.

It's where I'll be for much of July.

It's....summer camp!

Lord willing, I'll be sandwiching Vacation Bible School programs with two churches and a wide array of weekend activities between camp commitments.

(It's crazy!)

So if you miss me in July, see if it helps to visualize me applying band aids, explaining why mosquito bites itch, convincing eight year olds to stand in line, raising my eyebrows, teaching music, explaining why Jesus died, cleaning, monitoring bathroom runs, and smiling big.

Oh, and for realism's sake, don't visualize much sleep.

Better than visualizing, please pray for hungry hearts. Some who need to know why Jesus died. Some who need to know how to live righteous lives in this world. And some who just need to be loved.

It's important.
