The Pride of all the South

I have been at Camp Rockmont for the past month and the summer has been amazing thus far. I am in the oldest tribe and in a cabin with eight rising 8th and 9th graders. Two summers ago I worked with rising fourth graders and after working with my current age group I enjoy it tons more and I believe my skills are better suited for them.

Tribal Campout

Currently I teach Bible Study and assist in Fly Fishing. My summer goal was to learn how to flyfish and I am slowly achieving this feat. In regards to Bible Study, I was asked to lead this a few days before the boys arrived. I had heard the old adage "God doesn't call the prepared he prepares the called" many times, but this summer I have seen it come true in my life.

Making the summer even better, I have Salem Camp Meeting to look forward to beginning July 11

Presidential

It is hard to put into words the feelings I had when President Bush's motorcade pulled into Paladin Stadium.

The stands erupted and as I turned around from the press box I saw the Furman community on their feet welcoming the President. Soon after, I heard the reports of the thousands of citizens who lined Poinsett Highway welcoming his motorcade. Suddenly the 50 people on campus who dissented seemed pretty insignificant. After all of the anticipation, excitement, stress, debate, and controversy I was more proud than ever to be a student at Furman University.

His speech was very well done and was filled with hilarity, humility, and insight for our futures.
