Hey all. The participants are all at their second table time
right now. Yesterday was a whirlwind of different emotions. We set up for the
weekend after breakfast, which got the excitement mounting for all of the
lovely new lumberjacks to arrive. Soon after that we went to an incredible
thrift store to find things we could use to decorate tables during meals.
Naturally I got distracted and started looking at clothes…
When we got back we had little time to prepare for
participants, as they started to trickle in immediately. In typical LOG fashion
we immediately bombarded them with hugs, sang obnoxiously (at least I did) and
immediately tried to make them feel at home. We took their shoes and their
luggage and put it in some unknown space. Arriving can be a little freaky to
first time participants.
Despite the confusion, some participants started breaking
down their barriers and opening up to everybody, and some God will need to
chisel down their walls a bit. One participant in particular reminds me a lot
of myself four or five years ago: closed off, guarded, and extremely bratty.
I’m incredibly excited to see the way God works in him and through him this
weekend, and see how God reaches out to him. Not only him, but all of the
participants. It’s amazing watching people transform just over a few days.
Peace and Love,
Michael Malone
