Off to Camp…

mainsign2It’s that week in July when, as an Assistant Scoutmaster, I travel with my Boy Scout troop to summer camp near beautiful Lake George at CAMP WAKPOMINEE. It’s year number 8 or 9 for me, and I love it! Not only do I get to spend time in the great outdoors, but with one (or more) of my sons too. This year is the first camp for Daniel, and the second for John. And, I enjoy building relationships with the scouts, sharing skills and knowledge of scouting — all while representing my Lord Jesus Christ in their midst!

Not to mention that walking the trails and hills, chopping fire wood, and all the rest are good physical exertions for this sedentary pastor!

So, no new posts until week’s end.

HEY, you might just want to take a look in the “archives” (see sidebar to the lower right) or search The Breadline using the categories or tags (also to the right). I think some of my earliest posts are some of my best writing…. What do you think?

Do pray for me at camp.

“7 Keys to Creating a Great List”

Dynamo pastor Josh Harris serves us this list on lists….

7 KEYS TO CREATING A GREAT LIST

1550_20_54---Window--Venice--Italy_web1. Start your list with the number 1 and then go from there.
2. Use original and memorable words to describe your list like “key” and “great.”
3. Never at any point give in to the creeping fear that your list isn’t necessary.
4. Use humor, act witty but if you can’t write a short statement which will appear profound.
5. Do it.
6. Save your best, “gotcha” item for last. The second-to-last item can be a throw-away.
7. Never, never do more or less items than you originally promised.
8. Enjoy the process!
