This post is testimony that I survived 5th grade adventure camp<\/a>.  I did not, however, decide to make a career switch to camp counselor.  Nor am I enrolling in certification courses to become a 5th grade teacher.  I will teach the two that I have, and no more.<\/p>\n

Now I have two days at home (one down, one to go) and then I’m off to my high school reunion.  I’ve long thought that I would go to my 20th, but not necessarily any other.  I happen to be in the right hemisphere for the occasion, so I will journey out to southern California for a Saturday evening with many people I grew up with but almost none that I have stayed in contact with.  I will be proud to answer the question that everyone will ask with the response that after all these years, I have worked and struggled and climbed the ladder to become…a student.<\/p>\n

I am most interested to know if any have become believers.  In my larger circle, a couple were believers, a few went to church, but most were too smart to believe in God or to submit to his Word.  I suspect that the faith of some withered somewhere between college and career.  I wonder if the Lord brought some to himself.  And I wonder how.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, I’m planning to be at Grace Community for first service.  If you ‘re there and want to say hi, I tend to be drawn towards the building on the south side of the sanctuary.<\/p>\n
