so i return to stick my head into the grind once again. i really hope that all i've gained over the week will not fade from me as sunsets collect. its been a rare and precious experience, something to be treasured for a lifetime.
so there i was, a new church camp looming on the horizon. school had precluded any attempts at attending for the last four years, and i was really wondering what this camp would turn out to be like. it didnt help expectations to have, as its theme and song, 'A Passion for Thee'. i have to confess, i truly cannot stand that song. hearing makes me feel as if heat-plasticised treacle is being poured into my head via a hole trephined by a squad of upset monkeys. nothing to do with the words, guys, its the tune and chord work. if the tune gives me the musical equivalent of an MSG headache, i will have trouble liking it. but that's just me...
getting there and starting to do stuff, this camp exceeded all expectations. it was good to be playing again. even despite all the difficulties of an ad-hoc gang of noisemakers which were often-times difficult to round up. i was also blessed to have as a discussion group a fellowship of people who could open and talk about the things of life. it wouldn't have been the same without them. people to laugh with, cry with, and do nonsense with. valuable beyond belief.
at this point i'd also like to make a shout-out to Debbie and Norman, Tapir-boy and Angel-girl, dynamic duo, partners-in-crime and life and soul of our gang. they've been a literal blessing to ACTS (and i say blessing because every other word is inadequate) and the camp really wouldn't have been the same without them.
and finally i'd like to remember the camp speaker. Pastor Richards delivered the Word simply and truly. i just wish more people could have had the chance to hear him *brandishes sermon VCDs* best. camp. messages. ever.
back into the real world, i'll be waiting to see what's on my plate for monday. going to be reorganising my life a bit to give me more prayer and bible time. hope that all i've seen and heard doesn't get swept away in the rush of life...
