Note from Leroy Thompson

It is fun to keep finding people we knew from camp. Here are some thoughts Leroy emailed recently:

I've beem looking at your pics from the old days at Bond. It has sent me into a whirlwind of reminiscing. Think for just a moment of the people in that group of friends from Bond that week: You, very effective Christian leaders; Pat H. a great local minister in his own right; Rick W, a prof and dean; and myself, a prof of ministry and chaplain. Think about this....a poor Little camp in the hills of Southern IL, a nowhere place really, in single typical week of camp that nobody noticed or remembered--just another week. Add to that Christian teenagers struggling to find themselves and their direction in life but committed to serving their Lord. Out of that seemingly unimportant event came Christian leaders. Pretty amazing, really. Who knows what God is doing even now?! Please excuse the reminiscences of a sentimental aging guy but I think it is also true.
