| Good morning! I just read the blogs and realized that it's been several months since I blogged! The summer is just zoooming by! Here's a few thoughts. First community is soo important! I went to confirmation camp and saw a wonderful and gifted group of college age counselors take kids who were strangers and by the end of the week they had become a community. Makes me realize that I need to stress community in our congregation. Then came White Water Rafting which had many good good points; however there were some tough times as well. You see the company I have rafted with was bought out in a merger that is attempting to combine 5 rafting companies into 1. The company that now runs the whole show was known as the place to go if you wanted to party down. AW, the company I'd rafted with all these years had the reputation of being a company that catered to large groups, churches, scout troops etc. What happened was what I called a "Clash of Cultures". Most of you know that I'm no prude when it comes to drinking, but there was just way too many drunks walking around! So I'll be looking for a different company to raft with next year. This experience made me realize how challenging it is for a Christian to live as St. Paul tells us, "We are to be in the world but not of it". Peace, PM
