We made it back home to Denton Saturday night after a week at church camp in west Texas, where the mercury rose to around 111 degrees. I got to teach eighth graders in the morning, do a Q&A session with high schoolers in the afternoon, and sit in on Dad’s class for the men each morning, and hear Dan Winkler preach twice each day (he actually spoke three times a day, but my own class overlapped one of them). The brethren in Sheffield are great people, and I heard there were over 300 at camp (despite the heat, austere conditions, and being in the middle of nowhere). Now it’s back to a more normal routine…but with air conditioning.

Being in the middle of nowhere with the Deavers and Dan Winkler sounds like a winner to me. Except for the heat.

Weylan, what’s the name of the West Texas church camp? If the high schoolers had a Q&A session with you, I’m sure they learned a great deal.

Mike, it’s the Pecos River Encampment (http://pecosriverencampment.joelowens.org/). The high schoolers had some challenging questions, ranging from tattoos to why did God kill Uzzah, but not Jonah?
