Finally finished the bulletin board for camp



Alright, this is at least a little bit embarrassing. February since my last post! Oi. Well, I'd like to be more consistent, so let me start by posting this picture of the bulletin board at New England Camp Cherith. My wife Deb and I have been doing these for some years over ten, but I'm not sure how many that is. The camp theme is the sufficiency of Jesus, how He provides remarkably and amazingly and consistently and faithfully beyond our expectations. You can see the overflowing cup being filled from the cup of the work of Christ (all fabric). I again wrote the theme song for this summer:the melody is surrounded by two harmony parts which the counselors sang WONDERFULLY (okay, astoundingly well-AND by memory) last night the first Vespers of the season. I'll let you know and give you a link when the mp3 of the Staff singing and the music to the song itself is up on the camp site. Becky and Bob Riley as Director and Administrator are off to a great and important start after the fruitful time of Sue Miller's leadership. Very pleased (as a past board member and chairman of the board) with what I see continuing at Cherith and the advances that Keelah and Tai will bring with their gifts. New England Camp Cherith remains a remarkable place for girls to come and grow each summer; a rich and fertile environment with interconnected webs of relationship that continue to encourage after the summer camp season is over. Knowing that I've pretty Cro Magnon when it comes to blogging, this might be a recording of the camp song, first time melody with piano, second harmony with piano, then, because they made me (it's true) a capella.
