Christ Our King Passport 2016 Chapter Two

Good Tuesday Morning from Passport Choices in Greensboro.  Today extremism is on my mind.  In most cases I find extremism to be a bad thing, and as I get older, more so.  The Morning Celebration is a terrific way to get everyone amped up for the day with singing, dancing, and novelties.  But boy is it LOUD!  And the room in which it takes place is COLD!.  But the most pressing example of extremism is the showers in West Hall.  They are HOT!  You can't stand in the stream for more than two seconds at a time.  That's at the coldest setting. And the hottest setting?  I think you could cook an egg.  I may actually buy some eggs and experiment.

Yesterday we all experienced our Choice sites.  A new one is Common Threads, which takes a look at diverse cultures within our midst.  A field trip to a mosque and an international market are on the itinerary.  Ethan is COK's representative here.  I wanted to be one of the adult chaperons for this, but so did all the other adults in camp.  Fail.  Instead I'm over at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, which needs a lot of help disposing of unwanted donations.

In accordance with this year's theme we are being asked repeatedly and in a variety of ways, "What will you do with this wild and precious life?"  It is a thought-provoking question for our youth, but equally so for chaperons aged 40, 50, or even Tim.
