Extra-Wide Masking Tape Journals

Well it's been a long, long time. For me, anyway.

I about to finish up my second week of guest services work here at Caswell and it looks like it's going to be a good summer. I like the staff and I especially like the guys that I'm working with in the Reception Center. It's been so good to get back to the most beautiful place on Earth and focus on God and what he's done in my life.

If you look through the past years of this blog you'll notice that in the summers my posting count drops off dramatically. I have no doubt that this summer will follow suit. It's not that I run out of stuff to talk about in the summer, oh no, quite the contrary. I have so much going on that it would exhaust me to write about it all.

Just so that this post isn't entirely lame I will share one snippet about my summer for my friends outside of Caswell and for my own benefit when I'm old and can't remember these details anymore.

I'm in room 8 with Joey Waters, Jason Webb, Jay Washburn, and David Helms. Because of the way our shifts rotate, one of the guest services guys (which excludes David) will be sleeping in the RC all night. There are only 25 or so guys on staff and a whopping 47 or so girls. We have a LOT of room on the guy’s hall and compared to summers past I feel like I could hold a roller-disco in our room and still have room for a snack table.

One can only dream.

I get called in to do all types of stuff in this job, like unlock doors, provide first aid materials, and, of course, plunge those toilets. I got my first toilet call two days ago, oh boy! Well, someone has to do it and knowing that my job does it's little tiny part in keeping the camp running gives me a pretty decent sense of pride. I've experienced first hand the blessings that come out of this camp so it is pretty cool to see the people that are experiencing as I do my job.

Well, that's all for now. I just got a call to relieve the security guard so that he can relieve himself. TOOTLES!
