The cycle continues here at camp with the background politics ... it is so wearing on both of our spirits ... we can't talk to anyone about it, and nobody would ever understand what it is/has been like to live with the weights. Chris amazes me with the grace he has for this place, he never takes any shortcuts and continues to be so upstanding with his work ethics and emotions around the real reason we are here, doing this work.... but the background continually is a struggle and a cycle that is truly getting so old. As Chris pointed out the other night, this struggle has been in front of him for his entire life ... starting with his own family and watching his parents come home from camp board meetings that would last the entire day and the strife that would hover in their conversations for the days afterwards .... and now he is 45, still maneuvering through. We are in another wave crash right now, and we know it will calm again soon before the next wave crashes.... it is a cycle that has become part our life and marriage.

When will the new thing come? When can we be out of the wilderness?
