Laity Lodge Youth Camp

I've have been MIA from the digital world for the past few days and it was glorious! I was invited by a friend, Angie, to come and be a part of their staff training week at Laity Lodge Youth Camp in Texas over the weekend. I did a little bit of speaking, training the counselors, and worship leading. It was such an encouraging weekend as I led the loudest worshippers ever in worship, hiked around in a beautiful canyon, and got to share meaningful scripture with a receptive crowd. The full-time camp staff was affirming and the counselors were so supportive. It was so nice to turn off my cell phone and disconnect for a time. The quietness of the canyon and the benefits of a good, sweaty, hike or two was such a great diversion from the day to day ministry life in Florida. I have a few pics to upload (thanks to a new friend Genevieve Peel) but more will come when I return home to FL on Friday. I'm enjoying a few days with my sister and Spencer in Austin before heading home! Enjoy the photos!
