i was processing more about the experience at BOLM on Friday. it occurred to me that the experience was a lot like camping only not as clean. it had all the elements...i mean we were washing tons of dishes in a big sofria (pan), we were singing camp songs, sleeping in rougher conditions than normal, etc. but let's face it...most of us, no matter how fun the camping experience is, are glad to go back to our comfortable houses and beds and electricity. but for these kids, there is nothing else to go to.
my top ten list for the day...hope it makes you laugh
