I just confirmed a flight to Long Island. I'm heading up there the last week of June for a speaking engagement. I've been asked to speak for a camp orientation for the Stony Brook School's Summer Camp. I'll be there June 27-29. I'm looking forward to it.
I was invited by an SRCer, Meghan Edwards. She is a manager for the camp, which means she'll unfortunately be away from SRC all summer, but will return in the fall. She has been working with this camp for many years and asked if I could help.
She said this morning on the phone that she was shocked that I accepted to easily, and wondered why. I told her that it was a combination of things. 1. I love to speak. I think it's something that God has gifted me to do and when I do it I feel that I'm worshipping at one of the highest levels I can. 2. I had the dates open. 3. It's on Long Island. (I've never been to Long Island, and one of my best friends lives on the Island, in the same area as this camp, so I'm hoping to connect with him.) Too many great things to pass up. I'm thankful for the opportunity.

There's a whole lot of island out past Stoneybrook. Farther to Montauk than from here to Frederick. Enjoy the visit. dad
This is a test. If I pass I'm not anonymous anymore.
