A Quick Trip Home

I am currently in DFW airport about to board a plane headed to Baton Rouge. No, camp is not already over, but one of my best friends is getting married this weekend. I am so excited to go home and see Garrett Ellison and Sarah Babin get married. I am his best man and I am so honored to be a part of the ceremony. 

While I am looking forward to going home to see family and friends, I am also going to miss my Pine Cove team. I have been doing life with some of these people for nine weeks and they are now my crazy nomad family. I am returning to Dallas on Sunday to finish out the final four weeks of camp. 

It is week seven, which means it has been second half for two weeks. With this change in halves comes a change in staff. It was so hard to see first half staff go, but I was excited that they were going home to share with others what God has done this summer. I know that they are in their cities creating disciples and taking part  in Biblical community. While we lost the first half staff, we also gained an awesome group of staff for second half. We are almost through two weeks of second half and they have learned so much already. Camp is going so well, and I can't wait to keep raising the bar and watch them really take off. 

I am off to home to experience friends, family, food, a haircut, a wedding and some serious humidity. I am pumped!
