It’s Eli again…I’m looking out my kitchen window at one of the camp horse pastures, where four horses have been greedily feasting on the spring grass for days now.  They never seem to stop eating.

I was thinking today about how blessed they are to have an entire field full of yummy grass to eat. And somehow, this reminded me of camp.  (Well, perhaps most things remind me of camp, but anyway…)  

It made me think of how kids at camp are surrounded with positive role models, encouragement, risk-taking within boundaries, and opportunities for friendship.  You know, the healthy, good stuff.  For a week or more at a time, they’re unplugged from their computers and cell phones and learn to adjust to a gentler pace of life, even in the fury of summer camp craziness.  And this camp goodness feeds their souls.

I can’t wait for summer, to see campers happy to be themselves, in the outdoors… much like Gabe, King, Barak, and Marco are outside my kitchen window right now.:)

Ernstlove,
