IMPACT

I was planning on writing this post later tomorrow (Tuesday), but due to recent events I don't think that I will find the time. I am leaving for Impact counselor training on weds. afternoon and I will be there until the 25th. Cara is coming home from Germany tomorrow and she will be going with me as well. I am looking forward to her return and the fun that we will have together on our trip up to Nashville and the days to follow. Weds night is the training and I think that the Jr. High kids will arrive on Thursday for Impact Junior. I haven't spent much time around Jr. High kids lately so I'm a little nervous of how things will go. Monday all of the high schoolers will arrive for Impact Sr.
Impact is referred to as a church camp but it's not one of those out in the woods live in cabins kind of camps. It's more like camp war eagle but not drawn out and much more fun. In the mornings and the evenings, the auditorium at Lipscomb University is completely filled with people singing praise as loud as they can to God. It's something I've not experienced anywhere else. There are lots of hilarious skits and movies and free time and equipping classes as well. I am looking forward to what I will be able to share with my campers as well as what they will teach me. I know that it will be a time of spiritual growth and I'm very excited about that. It's one of those "mountain top experiences" that you only get once in a while. Or at least that's how it was four years ago. We'll see what happens this week. I am bringing my laptop with me so hopefully I will be able to update on what I am learning/experiencing.
