It is such a blessing, to head out the back door and go look for a Christmas tree. Today was another reminder at what a gift it is to live this lifestyle. We are indeed thankful. It has been an interesting fall, with camp going through some ups and downs. Yet amazingly, it looks as though the financial picture at camp is evening out a bit. The camp was able to refinance, and give us a couple of years to develop a new plan and turn the ship around. Doug Jones, our interim director has done an amazing job with the finances, and with us managers as well. We have been able to speak into a lot of things as we look at our ministry in the future. It will be exciting to see where the Lord takes Horncreek in the future, but I think all of us are re-engaged with renewed passion.
I have been traveling alot this fall for camp as we seek to re-stratigize and recruit some new summer staff and interns. The internship is up and running for next fall, and we have had good success recruiting. I have been to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana so far, and I head to Texas and back to Missouri this week.
The weather has been pretty mild so far this fall. We just got our first snow this week, just in time to get our Christmas tree. The girls are doing great, and school continues to go well for them. We will all be heading to Maui this Christmas to spend some time with my family. Looking forward to being warm and enjoying the ocean.
We will check in again soon. Bye for now.
