I was away all this week speaking at a Salvation Army camp for under-privileged teens from various urban centres in South-Western Ontario [including Hamilton]. Only a handful of the kids I was interacting with were from families who attend church at all. I found the experience of teaching them about Jesus both rewarding and challenging.

I was able to take my kids with me for the week, but unfortunately, Margie was working and couldn't come with us [she had five full days avec n'est pas les children... or husband - nice].

The camp director is a friend of mine who is only 23 years old, but is a fabulous director and an amazing guy. It was good to hang out with Nathanael while I was there.

That camp experience wraps up my Summer special events. I really can't believe that Summer is pretty much over. Oh well. Fall will be here momentarily... I think I am ready.
