El Camino Pines Trip

Okay so I’ve been quite negligent in my blog. I apologize. I really do and if I somehow had more time in my day this would not be so yet here we are. I had been working on an all too massive post about my week at camp (CALC through PSD Outdoor Ministry) from earlier this month but after working on it for a couple days, it was tragically lost. Now in the meantime, I’ve have a bit of time on a re-write but I’m still not going to have it finished until next week. I hope. But you never know as my room can attest as it’s still not completely done. Anyway, the preamble to this post is starting to get preposterous so I should get to the point.

Point is, my life is still moving along and things are happening. In fact camp has been quite the theme this month and all this will continue tonight. For the last few years I’ve gone down to Mexico on a house building trip with my church at the end of August. However, things changed this year as it was decided that, due to violence south of the border, we would do something else. Despite my disappointment in not going down to Mexico, I love that we were able to raise enough money to purchase supplies for another group to build a house down in the area at some point so our efforts will still be positively effecting folks down in Mexico and for that, I’m thankful. Any the something became going up to El Camino Pines in Frazier Park for a work weekend.

Their summer program just wrapped up so we’ll (a good 45 of us, actually) be doing some much needed work around camp. I think it will be more of the “painting and the lot” variety but we’ll see. Whatever is needed and I’ll be there, as is my way, and I’m sure it will be a good thing. I’ll try to take some photos and post on Facebook so that should be on the way when I get back. It will be odd going to another camp, as if I’m committing a “camp affair” or “camp treason” but God’s kingdom is God’s kingdom. Anyway, we leave tonight and I’ll be back on Sunday. Pray for safe travels and that we can be as productive as we can be. Oh and who knows…maybe I’ll actually have the proper time to finish up my camp blog next week. Stay tuned.
