April Summer...

Well, it's about eighty degrees outside and sunny in mid-April. Definitely love weather like this, especially after hearing about reports of snow on the ground a couple of days ago back home in Michigan. Everything is continuing to go well here in GA. Just over a week ago, our intern group and a few others from SharpTop and WindyGap went to an Atlanta Braves baseball game followed by an Avett Brothers concert, both at Turner Field. Even though the braves lost to the Phillies, it was a fun day. Definitely loved catching up with a few of the WindyGap interns as well.

Camp life is going pretty well lately. Anticipation is high for the summer. Last week we had assigned team training for all of the Field Staff who will be running the three sessions of camp this summer here at SharpTop. It was great to meet so many people I will see in a month or two. I can't wait to get to know them all better.

In the mean time, I'm excited to head home in a couple days to see my family for Easter weekend. It's been just over four months since I've seen them last, so I'm really looking forward to hanging out with them and some good friends back home for a few days. Then, hopefully I'll be joining the family again a few days later for a family vacation in SC. Definitely things to look forward to before the busyness of the summer.

Thanks again for your prayers here and may we all focus on the sacrifice and resurrection of our Lord Jesus this week!

Spring is in the Air!

Well I'm definitely starting to enjoy what Spring time is like here in Northern Georgia. Even though the weather has fluctuated from cloudy skies and 5o degrees one day to sunny and eighty degrees another, altogether this weather has been quite pleasant. Baseball season has started once again and of course I'm rooting for my beloved Tigers to do well this year and make a run for the World Series. But, I will admit the Braves are in the running to win my heart for my favorite National League team. On Sunday our intern group will be heading to Turner Field to watch the Braves play the Phillies. Should be a great game! Along with baseball, I'm looking forward to seeing my family in a few weeks during Easter time, and then again on a family vacation to South Carolina the first week of May. It will be a nice break from camp life before the craziness of Summer arrives and of course I'm excited to see my family for the first time since Christmas! So with the Spring season here and Summer around the corner, here are a few things you could be praying for back home...

• Focus for our interns as we continue our rotations before summer.


• A continued unity among us as we anticipate the arrival of summer interns, work crew, summer staff, and assigned team to camp in just over a month.


• Peace concerning our future job endeavors after this internship is over.


• Success in finishing up our group fundraising for the year.


• Wisdom and provision for me as I go through the process of looking for a car to have possibly for summer, but more importantly after I leave here in August.

Thanks and Blessings!
