Jeanne and I took our friend Amy to dinner last night.
Didn’t need much of an excuse to break bread with our friend, but my mom and dad recently raved about The Capital Grill, so I knew it was time.
Amy is a professional Christian counselor specializing in addictions. My ministry is to men struggling [...]

“Don’t Ever Change”
“OMG: Skuls out 4 summer!”
It was if I stepped back in time. During a cabin inspection at camp I walked in on 2 teens signing each others yearbooks.
In an age when students can transmit pictures and messages to one another in a nanosecond and create a social web on popular online networking sites, I [...]

Requalifying the Disqualified
Millions of men disqualified…
Thousands of families destroyed…
Shame so paralyzing that most men just check out.
We are living in an epidemic so devastating that the cries for help are getting louder each day. And we have only begun to see the harvest from the seeds of lies that have been readily planted into the male teens [...]

Camp Day 5 – Ladies Room

The world is telling them that they are not enough.“Mr. Roy, I’ve never been called a princess before…I really like that…would you [...]

Camp Day 4 – But Why God?
I’m a sucker for happy endings.
Perhaps this reveals how emotionally shallow I can be, but if the story makes me cry, or the dog dies, or it ends with a death or separation, it’s not for me.
So why God did you allow my God Moment to take a tragic turn?
I’m getting pretty good at this [...]

A Run Down:
* Shaving cream fight between boys cabin 4 and 7.
* 3 commando girls (outfitted in all black, including face paint) found half way between the girls side [...]

Camp Day 2 – Always Watching…
Roz: Wazowski! You didn’t file your paperwork last night.
Mike: Oh, that darn paperwork! Wouldn’t it be easier if it all just blew away?
Roz: Don’t let it happen again.
Mike: Yes, well, I’ll try to be more careful next time.
Roz: I’m watching you, Wazowski. Always watching. Always.
Mike: Ooh, she’s nuts.
I love Monsters Inc. Fun movie laced [...]

Summer Camp – Arrival Day
Gross.
If it’s not gross to a youth, its a BIG yawn. Not always true, but certainly true around here, amongst these 300 + high school students away at summer camp.
I love summer camp. Strange, I’m not into camping, but I love the raw detached-from-the-world passion of teenagers hungry for their God. Over [...]

Summer Camp
It sounded like a great summer camp prank.
What could possibly go wrong with apprehending (in the cover of darkness) 2 huge peacocks from the nature preserve and “relocating” them to one of the girls cabins?
Guess these birds have a love/hate relationship with stashed away junk food and candy. The peacocks managed to eat every piece [...]

Shattered Glass
In a house full of teen girls (where teen boys are sure to hang out too) it is not uncommon for me to hear a CRASH…”sorry!”
But this one was different. This one happened outside of my home office window. Seems that a security light fell from the roof peak and crashed onto my [...]
