As of today, I am 38 days without dizziness. This hasn’t happened since in probably two years. However, my energy and stamina are still lower thanContinue reading “38 Days – A Moose Update”
Summer Leadership Team 2017
Every summer it is my pleasure to work with a summer leadership team of 18-25 year old staff. Summer camp is one of the very few industries where we entrust our operations to 18 to 20-something leaders and 15-17 year old staff.

The Leadership Chair
Sitting in the leadership chair is one thing. Accepting the responsibility that goes with the chair is something else. It’s easy to think you’ve got all the answers when none of the ultimate responsibility lies with you. But sitting in this chair. Until you sit in this chair, you don’t know anything.

When I Predicted the Future
Every summer for over 35 years I have been privileged to work with teens and young adults. In fact, it is my life’s mission. I get to see SALTers and staff when they are young and help lead them to be the next generation of Christian leaders. Very often I see great potential in them.Continue reading “When I Predicted the Future”
Is This is the Moment?
“Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created…” Esther 4:14 Aloha!
