25 Things about GLC

1. I love hearing "CAMPERS!" before a meal.

4. I live that Goatman lives there.
5. I love that Jesus lives there.
6. I like making strategies to get the corner bottom bunk in Cabin 11.
7. I like knowing that 50 years ago, my grandpa was walking around the same camp, seeing the same "lake," looking at the same little bubble of God's wonders as I see. He put a little piece of his heart there, and now I get to feel some of that love.
8. I like being a lunch lady, I really do.
9. I like riding around in the golf cart during retreat season.

24. Karen Cummins, one of the hardest workers I've ever known.

Oh GLC, you bring me joy, joy in Jesus. Thanks.
