With that thought in mind, GET YOUR SUMMER APPLICATIONS IN!! We have 2 completed participants and have 10 other files started in varying degrees of completeness.
Something to keep in mind as you are writing up your answers to the questions is that technology is so advanced these days that you can push a button and your computer will check your spelling for you! Seriously, my friends, if some of you were to look back on some of things written, you would be embarrassed that you didn't take 2 minutes to reread and edit your writing! Let me share with you a little bit from times I did not go back and read what I wrote:
Once, while I was at school in Rosebud, I was updating a friend, who was on the road with our touring team. I was telling her about attending the play 'The Loin, The Witch and the Wardrobe'! I heard about that one for awhile!! (If you missed the oops, read the name of the play again slowly!)
While I was in bible college I didn't read over one of my reading responses and told my professor (a former pastor) about drink offerings. The problem? I missed the 'r' in the word 'drink'!! I was so terribly embarrassed when I got it back!
While texting Marie one time I failed to read the text before I sent in only to find out that instead of telling her I hadn't 'baked in years' I told her I hadn't 'naked in years'!!
Yes, folks, this is your leader speaking. Learn from my oops's and EDIT your assignments ALWAYS!! Or you can wind up looking mighty silly!!!
NOW... as for the next camp: we will be teaching on life as a leader at camp to the Mentorship crew. There is a session to answer any questions you might have about camp, leadership, the how-to's of camp and such. It's like 'Sticky Questions' but camp-based, so think of any questions you might like to ask - you might even want to email any questions you think of to me and I will make sure we cover them!
Sojourners - you will be learning about the importance of wisdom (it is not just for old people who look like owls - really!!), growing Christ-like characteristics and solitude (which can be so very refreshing in our world of ever running!
Remember that we love you, are praying for you and are here for you if you need us!!
(Now I will re-read this to make sure I do not confuse you with any errors or embarrass myself before I post it!)
ONE LAST THING... Kelley has asked me to post the following video for you to watch. She found it very powerful, real and inspiring. I have to agree with her!! I first saw one version of it a few years ago and have been moved every time I see it! Check it out on YouTube and you'll find it done in several ways (I have to admit - this was one of the best I have seen)!
Enjoy!
