October Brilliance

Greetings from the fall brilliance out at camp Tulahead. It is a very quiet at the time of this writing, as Carol and Mary are on the coast with Cyril as he recovers from surgery. Sarah and I helped dig up the last of the potatoes in our garden and helped split some wood today. Sarah enjoying the bark ‘boats’ that came off the logs we were splitting. We had a group in a few weeks ago and I was encouraged for this place to be used as it was for that weekend. I breathed deep and smiled as Sarah and I walked past the ‘extension’ and heard their worship music.

Got to go for a kayak around the lake a week ago and that was wonderful. Imagining the lake frozen solid is interesting. Carol’s brother’s were up a bit ago to help put the top of the garage near the Skinner’s house on and a fireplace guy has been up to help get our woodstove all ready to roar. It’s very cold in the mornings and the sun goes behind the hill around 3 pm, so the shade and sunlight time is definitely shortening.

It’s been good to keep in touch with some of the counseling staff. They are doing all sorts of things and prayer for them is always a good thing.

This season is a quiet one at our physical location, and that provides more time for reflection, pondering, prayer and perhaps some planning. Campers are in the thick of school and extra-curricular activities and relationships (family, friends, God). Consider praying for our campers – as God leads - when you see a group of children or youths. Pray the spirit is not quiet in their lives, but drawing steadily people into a deeper relationship.
