Here's a hodgepodge of thoughts about Pastor's Short Course:

It's good to be back, had I stayed another day I would weigh at least another 5 pounds more!

I really enjoyed hanging out with Pastor Wes Davis again. It's amazing how many similarities there are between Riverton Friends Church and Farmland Friends Church - Wes and I are very fortunate pastors to have such great churches to minister to.

I have no idea how it happened, but I managed to put together the best golfing that I've done in a very long time and won the first ever "Quaker Cup".

I failed to win at "cornhole". Pastor Pink and I were on a team together and I must say, he is a very good "cornholer", I however, am not. I was like dead weight to him - sorry Pink.

I also got beat at tennis by a 72 year old man.

While we were away I created a new make believe super hero for Pastor Pink... the "Blue Flame", I pictured him wearing a blue leotard and white cape, he has a super power but you will have to ask me about it in person... it makes me laugh when I think of the Blue Flame.

Every year our chef, Dan, makes some great pies. On the night that Dan puts out the pies there is generally a mad dash to the counter to get your favorite flavor; my favorite happens to be Reeses Peanut Butter Cup pie. I had to knock down a few kids and an elderly gentleman to get my pie (just kidding). While walking back to my seat with my prized pie I started showing off like a ding dong and I nearly dropped it on the ground, fortunately, I made a fantastic juggling/diving save... crisis averted.

On our way home from the retreat a squirrel decided that life was just not worth living any longer and decided to run directly underneath our CR-V - a moment of silence for Mr. Squirrel... ... ... thank you.

Kate Canady has begun blogging. (There has been a rash of new bloggers at FFC; there must be something in the water around here). You can get to know Kate a little bit better by checking out her new blog, "Walk With Me" When you stop by her blog to say "hello" tell her that Kris sent you.

Well we are back from Pastor's Short Course (a mini retreat for Pastor's in our Yearly Meeting/district) I've got a few things to catch up on in a short amount of time tonight, if I get a chance I will blog again latter this evening and catch ya'll up on my extremely exciting life. Until then... peace out!

We are having a good time up here at camp. We are sharing a lodge with the Pinkertons and Wes Davis. This afternoon James and I will be competing in the first annual Pastor's Short Course Golf Tournament. I will have to blog latter and let ya'll know how we did... we are competing for the "Quaker Cup" and bragging rights... bell rang - time for breakfast.

Tomorrow several of the pastors from FFC and our families are heading up to Quaker Haven Camp for "Pastor's Short Course". Short Course gives pastors an opportunity to listen to a speaker, attend some workshops, relax a little bit, and eat tons of food.

I'm really looking forward to this week because our speaker will be the pastor from my "home church", Riverton Friends Church, Wes Davis. While I was in college I did my practicum with Pastor Wes and really enjoyed learning from him. It should be a good week of catching up with Wes and hearing about how God is blessing Riverton Friends.
