Ouch. I hurt. I’ve realized I need to incorporate my Jillian workouts with my weekly exercise routine. You see, being out at camp, I’ve been doing the running thing. Which is fun. And totally different from the last few years of my life. BUT. I started thinking, “Hmmm, doing the same exact workout every. single. […]
The One with the Lovely Monday
Monday was great. (slash: really not good, but that’ll come later.) First of all, I soaked in Psalm 34. Have you read this Psalm? I mean really read it? Every word moves me to praise, to thank, to pursue righteousness, and to commune with my God. It’s overflowing with wisdom for every aspect of life. Go, […]
The One with His First Sermon
Yesterday was Sunday. Which means church. Which, for us, means our “work day.” This is normal. No biggie. Except that the two of us were totally in charge of the entire service. We had another adult helping leading the hymn sing, but other than that the fate of the morning worship service lay in our […]
The One with a Kindred Spirit
Have you ever met a kindred spirit? A person with whom you seemed to connect fully. One who is so much like you, yet different enough to strengthen you by their friendship. Someone you can’t believe you haven’t known your whole life? This has happened to me once or twice. And what a blessing it […]
The One with the Summer Storms
Seriously. This has been the craziest summer ever. And it’s only been a couple weeks into June. I can’t recall a year when I saw so many intense storms back to back. In the last two weeks, we’ve had two devastating thunderstorms. Thunder like I’ve never heard. Lightening that lit the sky for hours. Winds that […]
The One with the “5K”
I feel rather accomplished. I successfully ran the 5K path around Somerset this morning. The route is mapped out for our annual Somerset Stampede-5K and Marathon in August. I have yet to participate in any kind of organized run though I have been doing the 5K thing regularly since college. I never ever in a […]
The One with the Pros/Cons of Summer*
*subject to be updated at any time. Things that are not all that perfect about being at camp this summer: dirt and sand in my shoes. too much good food readily available for my (over)consumption sitting (literally) at work. (but thankful for time to walk and move after work. :) driving back and forth. not […]

The One that’s Down in the Dumps
Fridays are supposed to be fabulous, right? I don’t know what my deal is, but my Friday has been just plain terrible. I’m in a crappy mood. I can’t seem to shake it. One of those moods where, if anyone so much as looks at me the wrong way, I may either errupt or break […]
The One with Camp Counseling Memories
Watching all of the youth programming staff do their training and bonding this week, my mind got all reminiscent on me. I was instantly transported back in time. Five years. My first summer after my first year of college. I never in a million years would have imagined spending even more time away from home. […]
