We made it to our next, and final, camp of this year. It was a longer drive than what was anticipated. We originally thought we would be pulling in around midnight and we actually got here around 5:30am.
Joe just got back from his honeymoon and we all went to our churches Sunday morning. We got out of town a little late. Then we stopped in Memphis to see a friend from my, and Daniel's, past, Jeff Jones. He and his wife and 4 kids met us at a Taco Bell in Memphis. (We love Taco Bell) It was great to see Jeff again. The last time I saw him he had zero kids, now they have 4. If it had not been for Jeff and his youth group in Martin, TN I might not have ended up playing Christian music. I was in a few secular bands and Jeff needed a worship band for some Wednesday night stuff. A group of us formed a band called JAG, Jazzed About God. From there Daniel found out I was playing in a worship band and needed a player for a gig he had. That was about 11 years ago. So I might owe some of where I am at today to Jeff Jones (obviously working through God's plan).
After we got back on the road it was a normal drive with road construction, gas stops etc. When we got closer to the camp we got a little "side tracked". I wont say lost, but we did take a long time to figure out how to actually get to the camp. We pulled in after 5 am and got in our rooms after 5:30 am. Now we have had a FEW hours of sleep and are about to get ready for this week.
I played in Church Sunday morning and had to get up at 5:50am. I went to bed Monday morning at 6 am. I have not stayed up for over 24 hours in a long time.
I am sure we will be posting pictures as the week goes on. There is a lake and a lot of recreational things the campers will be doing.
Peace
