’tis the season

two hours from now will usher in july. the thought of this month sends chills down my spine. i kid you not. three weeks from today 500 (hopefully) students and leaders will be in high springs, fl at camp kulaqua. this year, camp is my baby. i thought of “rockcamp” on the elliptical just before [...]
