family camp ...

It was around 11pm on Saturday night that we returned home from this year's church Family Camp on Crescent Lake. Again this year, my Mom flew down for the event to play with Alyssa while Shawna and I were working and organizing events for camp. Overall, it was a good time. There was no shortage of food and things to do, the weather was decent (a bit on the cooler side), and I left camp with only 2 mosquito bites. My highlight was Friday night when I had the great opportunity to preach to those at camp. It was only 15-minutes long, but I'll remember every minute for a long time. In the moments before I was to begin, I became overwhelmed with emotion. It just all hit me ... God's preparing me for something ... but He's only revealing little parts at a time. After the sermon, Pastor Syd approached Shawna and said, "How do you feel about being a Preacher's wife?"
