Well well well

back from a rather long break, thus it continues. the last post was posted by two of my closest friends. they staight up hijacked my login stuff for the blog and then went ahead and posted a photo and whamo my indentity has been taken. i would like to say it is due to a feeling of violation that i feel like i havent written in sometime, but that is not it at all. it is a little 10 week season of camp called summer. the staff left on sunday and a new guest group arrived on monday. no rest for the weary. usually an intense flood of emotions rushes in during the last few days of camp. i am the final voie as to when someone can leave or not, yielding the power of their final paycheck. thus beginins the emotions that come with such power. i am also in the tension of saying goodbye, being a hard ass to make sure that soap scum is off the shower wall, getting mad at people who leave their roommates with all the work. you really can learn a lot about people in how the carry out these final tasks of closing the chapter and the integrity with which they will choose to leave their rooms and help with the final camp tear down. there are some who will ask until the last thing is done, some will bail before others, some are completely ignorant and will learn, some are aware and look for a way out. anyway maybe i am a little testy but the words that i keep hearing are resolve and integrity. these words cannot be reomoved from our sirituality. i feel good though and will report more on the summer later. it was a great time as i feel like the Lord continues to entrust me with more in this place. lives are delicate and those he gives us may he smile as we are good stewards. i pray i learn more how to do this for my wife most importantly. if you all could, as i had my identity stolen with this blog, no big deal, i had a friend who earlier this fall had his mail stolen and someone hacked into their bank account and closed out a 600 dollar cellular bill. i think they are doing allright and the bank helped out, but man i wonder what that feels like....
