Morning All,
Your SPEC roving reporter here. It's early am and there is a beautiful sunrise happening right outside this reporter's window.
Camp is alseep, but will be waking shortly to the smell of bacon, waffles, and cinnamon rolls. Life is good.
These campers - often total strangers before SPEC - are beginning to "team up". In camp
terms that means they are beginning to work with, and for each other. It never ceases to amaze this reporter.
Our newest staff - Jamie and Logan Reiff - cut short a honeymoon to be here as staff. They were
married less than a week when they drove to Lamoni, Iowa, and split up to work in their respective dorms -- Good Priorities!! You Gotta Love It!!
Today is the much anticipated "Picture Day" Nearly a
thousand campers and staff are herded into the bleachers, forced to sit nearly on each other, staring into a blazing sun, mixing sweat like a whirlpool,and say cheese nearly a dozen times, in the hope of getting a big
sheet of paper with little dots on it that they can say, with complete confidence to mom back home, "See - That's Me!!" It's a amazing scene this reporter has lived and re-lived several time and it still
brings -- well, lt's just say -- No let's don't.
All-in-all it looks like an exciting and, well, SPECTACULAR week for those gathered here.
Well, the smell of breakfast beacons -- this reporter must answer
the call. Until tomorrow then - Remember -- "LIVE OUT LOUD" Seventy Bob |
