But August didn't happen they way it normally does or I thought it would. As camp concludes Debbie and I generally have a few days to "recharge". Well that didn't happen this year. Our month began with a trip to south Florida, not for vacation, but ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=352 From time to time you experience one of those events that is simply special, like a sweet treat that you weren't expecting. Yesterday Debbie and I had a sweet treat in the middle of a busy summer which refreshed our spirits. It all began with a knock on our back door about ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=344 We're in the middle of Family Week at Camp Nathanael. We have a full facility and many folks are coming in for the day. I think we fed around 275-300 folks at supper last night.

I felt overwhelmed by responsibilities that I just wasn't getting done. I know I was a little "short" with a couple of my co-workers because I "felt" I had so much to do. To be honest, I was feeling a little sorry for myself. But ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=327 One never knows what you might spot as you walk around the grounds of Camp Nathanael.

It belongs ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=320 I'm finally catching up on sharing with you some great things that have been happening around Camp Nathanael in recent days. As a follow up to yesterday's entry I want to share another tremendous example of God's perfect timing. The decision was made in the early spring to "upgrade" our flag ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=306 It's been a couple of "crazy " weeks lately in the run up to the opening of summer camp. I have a card in my office which reads, "Whatever turns up, grab it and do it." It's a paraphrase of Ecclesiastes 9:10a from The Message by Eugene Peterson. Well, that's ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=292 Last week my son, Ben, and I were moving a cabinet in our basement. Debbie had stored some family items in it which we had to "relocate". In doing so, we came across a flag and a small container in which were a razor, a mirror, a couple of packs ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=284 That's not a headline you'd usually want to see on a ministry blog. But this team doesn't come with the black uniforms, helmets and drawn guns. This SWAT Team is a pest control company from Louisville owned by a good friend of SMMM. Charlie Hodges and his wife, Nancy, have been friends with Debbie and me ... http://www.smmm.org/roysblog/?p=273 It seems like when the schedule fills up with things to do my blogging takes a break. You'd think that with so much happening there'd be lots to blog about. That's true but there's only 24 hours in a day. Well, the past couple of weeks have kept me hopping.
