Lists, long days and crazy schedules

Not too much to say in my life these days. I have lists upon lists. The guys that I supervise have lists as well. All of it points toward one BIG GOAL...Summer Camp. We are 16 days away from the start of camp and in typical fashion we have to hold many expenses until just before the start, we have to wait for weather to accomplish much of the outside building projects.

We prepare housing for the college staff, build sets, order sound/lights/video, recreation equipment and so much more. The pace of camp begins to pick up and your pulse is pounding for many days.

We begin our buildup in Mid April and it peaks as Summer camp starts...it remains high until Mid-August then crashes down as we undo all that we made back in May! Crazy!!! Worth it? Absolutely!!! This year we will see over 4,500 kids and perhaps will reach our capacity of 5,000 in the summer! Lots of students and adults. I will keep you up to date as it unfolds.

Do you face seasons like this? How do you deal with them as they build, peak and subside? For me, it's just another "season" that will come and go. Each of face times of happiness or sadness, but it will ALWAYS pass away into another season. Be patient, no matter where you are today, it will change for the better eventually.
