Well, well, well…
it has been more than a month since I last blogged. This is indeed a travesty! The truth is that since that fateful day in
June the following events have taken place:
1)
Performed a funeral for a cousin.
2)
English Campmeeting begins and ends. Amazing time!
3)
Spanish Campmeeting begins and ends. Wow!
4)
Was the evening speaker for Adults II Campmeeting
opening week-end. Dick Duerksen had to
shorten his commitment.
5)
I was song leader for main meetings at English
Campmeeting. Enjoyed it immensely.
6)
I played piano for Cradle Roll during English
Campmeeting. The upper range of my skill
level.
7)
I sang special music for English
Campmeeting—alone and with the Campmeeting Quartet (Abi, Tony, Chris, and me). Great fun!
8)
Was in charge of both Sabbath School programs for
English Campmeeting. The second Sabbath
guest speaker cancelled the Friday before the second Sabbath.
9)
Raised about $6,000 for the Youth Service Project
during English Campmeeting. Awesome
project.
10)
Laid brick pathway leading to the Little red
School House. Back-breaking!
11)
Was Junior department speaker during Spanish
Campmeeting. Much fun!
12)
Sang Special music for Spanish Campmeeting. Not ready.
13)
Traveled most of the night after Spanish
Campmeeting. Tired beyond measure.
14)
Sang in an outdoor wedding in Fallbrook,
California. Beautiful location with lots
of greenery.
15)
Had a serious bout of allergies leading up to the
moment of singing “The Prayer.”
16)
Caught a summer cold! Still recovering
17)
Traveled to Mexico. Sick.
18)
Traveled to Mammoth Mountain on the Eastern
Sierras in California. Was sick.
19)
Traveled to Yosemite. Pulled a trailer-load of supplies for a
family group of over 70 people.
20)
Fished with my sons…caught nothing…again!
21)
Climbed Half Dome. 12 excruciating hours!
22)
Swam and rafted down the Merced River. Very low water level!
23)
Cooked for 70 people! They survived.
24)
Visited family in Fresno.
25)
Got caught in post-4th of July weekend
traffic coming up the Grapevine.
26)
Unloaded a trailer-load of supplies upon arriving
in Riverside.
27)
Returned to Scottsdale.
In the midst of
that whirlwind I was involved in securing the final personnel pieces in the
elementary schools system, Thunderbird and Holbrook Indian School. I launched a major one-year intervention
involving a key school in the system. I
officially welcomed my wife, Penny, into a partnership involving an
intervention at a local school in the system.
I signed on to co-pastor the AWC Church
for 12 months to facilitate the transition of a teacher into pastoral
ministry and mentor given teacher for the next few months as the process
solidifies.
I thinks that’s all…I’m going to
bed! (229.0)
