These are my buds, Shane (orange shirt) and Brendon. We all worked at the same camp in the Pocano Mountains of Pennsylvania last summer. The last week of camp, the three of us had our day off on the same day, and so we went in to Hazelton, PA, where we went shopping, went to the theaters, watched Men in Black, and some other horror movie, stayed in a cheap motel, and watched "The endless summer" I&II.

We all had such a blast. Days off in the camp couseling world are few ard far between, you literally work a 23 hour/6 days a week schedule. When you figure that in pay, it comes out to about 23 cents an hour.

This at the same camp. The two purple monsters are two of my closest friends from camp, Liz and Alison. For "cabin time" that week, they allowed their campers to body paint them with purple paint. Then they decided I needed a hug. (The shirt did come clean unbelievably)

This is my favorite photo of Paul, my youth pastor growing up. It's my fave, because I caught him giving someone the "look" he was so good at. When he gave you that look, you felt like he was seeing straight into you, and there was no way you could lie, or feel unloved. I think it is a look Jesus would give.
