So, are we called to a life of insanity? Yes, yes we are. That’s OK, because we are right where God wants us.

Delbert Elmer Griffith
We saw the end of an era last week. On May 10th 2022, we said goodbye to our camp founder, Del Griffith. After forty-nine years of ministry, at the age of 104, he left us to greet his Lord and the loved ones who went on before him. Yes, even during his last days he was calling up Scruffy to ask how projects were coming along or chatting with the board members about camp.

Time to perhaps throw up and feel ill and thank the Lord that we didn’t face this without having been vaccinated (I hear the vaccine gives you a milder case). Time to watch the snow fall, read a book, and spend a quiet moment with your dog. May you take the time today. The Lord is present, whatever you face, my friend.

NaNoWriMo In the Dark
It is a little thing in the face of grief. But I will grab up this little victory and hold it high. We lose all the time, it is good to have a win.

Summer Miracles
In all honesty, most of us prefer non-miraculous moments. We enjoy participating in predictable ministry that isn’t quite so stressful as living through miraculous help from on high.
