Everyone needs a place and a people set apart. No matter how much time passes before you're able to see folks again, the richness of the friendships are only enhanced. "Real world" indulgences aren't the makings of relationships, and only rarely arise in conversation. Instead, it's the matters of the soul that can be found on the lips and in the ears of all those gathered. It's a place where the smells in the most insignificant corners bring back vivid memories. The taste of the meals transport you to a different moment in time. It's people and places like this who remind me what life is really all about.
Immeasurable amounts of fun were had by all this weekend! I'm happy to report that the World successfully defeated the Staff team in the Frisbee game of the year. Surely, the fogies only mounted a challenge because they have been working so hard 24 hours a day all summer long. The skill-level was at an all-time high on both squads. Seldom Scene rocked the Bluegrass Festival on its 20th Anniversary. Former directors, staff members, and campers came from all over to celebrate Bishop Lee's final 4th in the Diocese. And, I'm happy to report that HOSS still rules. Guest soloist James Gunter was the highlight of the evening with his dynamite performance of "Superman." There were even a few stray fireworks and sparklers to close out the evening.
For friends both old and new, bands both good and better, sunshine and drizzle, campers present and those gone before, we lift our voices in thanksgiving to the skies.
"Lift your voice.
Lift your praise.
Alleluia to God."
