"To err is dysfunctional, to forgive co-dependent." - Berton Averre

Crazy day yesterday and no opportunity for a post last night. I'm posting this morning from a coffee shop near church; I'll head over in about an hour. We'll go immediately from church to camp to begin the adventure.

Got a lot done with my folks yesterday. We culled and organized in their downstairs storage area, got them set up with new phones, did some misc. shopping and solved the top 40% of the world's problems.
I worry about them.

I don't know how much access to the internet I'll have at camp. Kevin said there's one area with wi-fi and he'd give me the access code. Which is to say I don't know if I'll be able to post between now and getting home Friday night.

I have two sessions, morning and evening, every day but Thursday when there's no morning session. Each chapel time begins with music and ? before my part, which goes for 50 minutes. I've got a slide show for each and activities for several of them. It's been a very long time since I did anything with high school kids so I'm praying my material neither insults their intelligence or is way too heady for them.

Todd, one of our elders, is preaching for me this morning and I'm really pleased about that. This is his first time to preach. He's taught my class twice but teaching and preaching are - or should be - very different events. Todd has worked very hard at every aspect of his sermon and rec'd my guidance willingly. I told him via a text yesterday that he's done his part, now the Lord will do his. God's Word will go forth and that is always a good thing.

I like that we have elders doing what elders should do. Not just an advisory board, a group of men who act like monthly supervisors, but servants who minister to the congregation in a variety of ways.

And so, this morning I thought the same thing about my sessions at camp. I've done my work, now it's time for God to do his. That doesn't mean I can mail in the delivery portion but at some point I have to assume that God guided my thought processes and hours in prep. To get all freaked about it now would be faithless.
So why am I ....
