ahhh, the joys of extended weekends. welps, camping was definitely an enjoyable time - got a chance to get to know some ppl a lot better, experience lots of laughs as well as lots of genuine fellowship. i think we've got a very special group of ppl there, and who knows, God just may have some amazing things in store for us.

anyways, heres a quick run-down of my top 5 camp moments:

5. campfire sharing

4. football

3. ken's (multiple) crappers.

2. fellowshipping under the trees, at the beach, etc.

1. dancing, sliding, and singing in the rain.

tuesday we had a fun day as well, starting with softball with our fellow etcbc'ers, followed by football/frisbee and a bbq at eugene's house. i truly believe that the entire softball ministry only works on fellowship, and usually fellowship outside of softball. the game itself, practises, mixers, even devos - these truly don't make the ministry work. the only way it will be effective is if you fellowship with your team outside of the game. just my two cents.

today, im back at work. it actually isnt so bad. ive been doing a lot of work (kept quite busy), but obviously i still have time to read up on my espn page 2 articles and definitely to catch the latest strongbad. yippee :P as 'fun' as work is right now, i still can't wait for the weekend. our season starts with 3 games this weekend, 2 home ones. oi vey. i've *sorta* got my devos ready, so it'll be okay.

lastly, some quick prayer items (probably more for me to remember than for you):

- sharon starts her new job today. i know she'll be fine, but still, prayer never hurt.
- leo on missions, left yesterday.
- all the people i got sick at camp :)
