A Common Cause


Yesterday night I gathered with a group of my very close friends for a common cause. Now even though we all live varying distances away from our destination last night I believe we were all showing up for the same reason. Against what you may believe ultimately friendship brought us together. Some of us have known eachother only years of our lives but it feels like decades, at one point we were all brought together for one common cause and one common objective...that is camp. Since then we have all moved on, some to bigger better jobs than moving tables, some to begin teaching the children that we entertained for summers on end, some to continue their education, two to be forced into reading the bible, one working in a gas station, one returning to a camp they first fell in love with, and one is off to a roaring start on his own business.

Though no matter where we go, who we meet, what we do, we can not forget why we are friends and what started our friendships. Camp has molded us into who we are today...so the question is, how do we repay a place that we once held so dear to our hearts and have been pushed away from? What do we do now?

Can we really just sit back and watch?
