So it's been a while.
Being boys director at Wawona was quite enjoyable. I'd say the kids were pretty good and the team of counselors we had was a delight. It was neat to be even older than last time I was older, and to not know many of the staff except Anthony, my brother, and a few others. I got my phone wet during staff week and just got it back a couple weeks ago after finally getting it fixed. That was nice, too, in some ways.
And now I'm at Upper Columbia Academy as a taskforce boys dean. So far we've only had two official schooldays, and so far I've not fallen in love with the job. But it hasn't been atrocious, either. I'm suspending judgment, as they say.
This afternoon I had some free time and came across a 10-minute video on the 2012 Norseman Xtreme Triathlon. An absolute gem. I'm not exactly sure what the afternoon concoction was that incited it, but I actually got emotional watching it. Who does that? So then later, I included it in my worship talk. Like a champion.
The tagline was someone's comment underneath the video on the page I watched it from: "This says so much by saying so little." Good job, random commenter. And thank you. We should live lives of such persevering quality in all we do that people can't help but hear the timbre of our lives and find it worthy. I just made that up. But that was the idea.
