I’ve been wandering with my memories; remembering my spiritual heritage at the site of the old Camp Ambassador. I got to spend time this week in a place I used to be very familiar with. I came to Word of Life Camp on the annual fall camp tour with CCI/Canada Ontario Region. The camp usedContinue reading “Wandering With My Memories”

Thankful
This weekend we have Thanksgiving. It’s the one day or weekend we pause long enough to remember all the things we are thankful for. It seems obvious that we should be thankful more than just one day a year. And we are. We give thank for meals, we thank people for holding a door, lendingContinue reading “Thankful”
Grandpa’s House
I have some amazing memories of life at my grandpa’s house. Driving back from a visit to Rocky Ridge Ranch last week I noticed that my grandpa’s old house is for sale. It’s in Speyside. It’s not an overwhelmingly large place. It’s one of those single gas station stops on the side of highway 25,Continue reading “Grandpa’s House”
Camp Withdrawal
This blog post is on the withdrawal feelings after leaving camp, going from community to loneliness where others just don’t understand why you’re always talking about camp and the people you met there. Earlier this fall, Jake Hildebrand coined the term PCDS or Post Camp Depression Syndrome. Its often called “camp-sickness” or camp withdrawal. WhateverContinue reading “Camp Withdrawal”

Pray for You vs. Psalm 35
In the Psalms, David often wrote about God taking revenge on David’s enemies. If David wrote that now, I think it would sound a lot like Pray for You by Jaron And Long Road To Love. Here I’m comparing Pray for You with Psalm 35 from David. Pray For You I haven’t been to churchContinue reading “Pray for You vs. Psalm 35”
Kiss Your Monster on the Nose
Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a village far from the big city. The village was nestled in a beautiful, sunlit valley surrounded by a tall snow-capped mountain range. As the little girl grew older, she began to hike in the foothills at the base of the mountains, andContinue reading “Kiss Your Monster on the Nose”
The Christian Leaders Creed
The Christian Leaders Creed I cannot do many things. I cannot control everything. I cannot change or fix anyone. I cannot explain many things. I cannot meet everyone’s expectations. I cannot dodge the tough questions, decisions, or tasks. I cannot concern myself with who gets the credit. I cannot cling to the past. I cannotContinue reading “The Christian Leaders Creed”
