Home today after a wonderful 4 day stint as chaplain at Mustang Island's Episcopal Family Camp. Bek and Annie came with, and together we were blessed by the pace (slow) and grace (lots) of camp. The session's theme was bearing one another's burdens (Gal 6), and the weekend's teaching focused on naming our burdens, our thanksgivings, and our gifts before God. Bek and I have a hard time naming our own gifts (thankfully we can point them out to each other), and so we were particularly glad for the opportunity (and encouragement) to name our gifts with grateful hearts. We were also unspeakably glad for the gift of friends - old and new. Also, the staff rocked the house. They made my job easy and brought more joy than they can know.

The chaplain, saying something wise and edifying and definitely not singing the Chicken Song.
