A More Pragmatic Update

I realized that most of you have little knowledge as to what I'm actually doing here at camp. So here goes:

Camp is good. Very different from the perspective I had last year, but still good.

The community here is awesome. And the garden is going well. Unfortunately only two of the thirty tomato plants I planted decided to pollinate and bear fruit. Still waiting on the rest. Fortunately, the spiritual fruit has been much easier to come by. TONS of emotional healing, and some very good teaching on Jonah. One week we had a rising senior get delivered from some demonic influence. Not sure what most of you think about that, but by all accounts it appears very true. He was one of the kids I have been very intentional with over this past year, and he seemed like a different person the following days - a lot more peace.

Anyway, back to the teaching. My co-head counselor Laura and I have been speaking to the counselors (high school upperclassmen) about Biblical Community. And I've also been able to lead a couple of worship times, which is new. Still working on keeping the rhythm AND singing AND listening to the Spirit - kind of not that easy.

Also, for those of you who I haven't told yet, I am going to apply to graduate schools for design/build architecture. Right now I'm thinking either U of Florida, Auburn, or U of Miami (FL). So be praying for that. In lieu of this, I am trying to revamp my thesis on Green Home Building into an actual book. Also, I am sketching ideas for homes as they come to me. Pray that I would have peace about the future and that my work here at camp, and on the side would be a sweet offering of worship to the Lord.

Much Love and Peace to you.
