The highlight of my summer
It was the week before a competitive camping trip, and it seemed like everything was going wrong. The packing was going poorly. The organization of preparing for each category we’d be judged on wasn’t what it should’ve been. And the overall stress for me as a captain just seemed like too much to handle.
This camping trip at the summer camp for Christian Scientists where I was last summer should have been a highlight for me. Instead, I just felt overwhelmed.
So when we had a metaphysical meeting—a time to pray and share helpful and inspiring spiritual ideas—I was on a mission to find anything to help me think differently about this trip. While I didn’t know if any of the outward circumstances of our preparation would change, I did know that my own change in thought that could come out of this meeting would make a difference.
