The Eye of the Storm

I've never been in a hurricane but we've all heard of the "eye" that comes through as the center of the storm passes overhead. Well, that's how I feel today. The hectic schedule of spring ministries with its whirlwind pace where between 800-900 folks have been involved in camp outreaches since late February has kept us holding onto our hats, so to speak. That schedule was concluded this week with our Spring Work Week.

Today Camp Nathanael was quiet. The wonderful volunteers have departed toward home and hopefully blessed from their time here. Our community missionaries have returned to their counties to catch up on things there. A few folks are around to complete leftover projects but the bustle is gone. Mostly things are still. It will be like that for a week or so then the roaring surge of final camp preparations and the opening of the 2008 Camp Season will be here. That surge will continue until late July when the summer camp season closes.

Pray for us during this calm in the middle of the "storm" of ministry that we'll rest our weary "bones", straighten our hats and be ready when the "storm" surge hits right after Memorial Day. The result will be lives eternally changed.

That's what's happening along the banks of Troublesome Creek until next time.
