One of the afterglows during Junior High Camp was to go to the Roller-Rink.
A group of “professional rollerskaters” gave us the following demonstration:
I was speechless…

I arrived home last night just before 10PM after a LONG week of Junior High Camp down in Fairmount. Jess came home earlier in the afternoon with her mother following close behind. They began the long, tedious job of doing a week’s worth of laundry.
We are ALL glad to be out of the heat and back in our comfortable home for the next couple of nights. We will head back to Fairmount on Monday morning for another heat-stroke week of fun and sun!
Pictures from the week of camp are here.
I could get used to this!
By the way – Happy Father’s Day to the world’s greatest dad – Rev. Paul K. Sheets – a father that I hope I can one day emulate to the point of MY children wanting to emulate the qualities I have taken from my father. Dad – you’re a source of incredible strength for your family – thank you for loving Christ first and for raising us to see Jesus in you before we ever knew Him!
I also need to give a “shout-out” to a the greatest Father-in-law who didn’t complain a BIT that I didn’t tell the world that he beat me on Friday by one-stroke on nine holes! Thanks for helping raise your daughter to be the greatest wife and mother of our daughter!
This afternoon the Sheets family jumped in the car and headed South. We arrived in Marion for a cook-out at the home of Pastor Gale & Janet Janofski – our new pastor that will be with us starting July 9th! They treated the Warsaw Wesleyan staff to a great cook-out and fellowship around their fire-pit. Ella had a rough night, but I managed to snap this photo before the crying started:
It was a great time for us all to enjoy the fellowship of our new Senior Pastor and get to know his family a bit better, too!
Complete photoset here.
Highlights from the night:
Tomorrow we’ll enjoy worship and then a full afternoon and evening of errand-running and packing for camp!
Monday morning we’ll be leaving by 7:30AM for a week of Junior High Camp – I’m even teaching a seminar through the week this year! We’ll return sometime Friday evening and quickly do a LOT of laundry and resting! The following Monday we’ll jump back in the church van and head down to Fairmount for another week of camp – this time, Senior High Camp – where this year, I get the honor of speaking on the first night! After THAT exhausting week, we’ll be home for a few short hours and get back on the road in the “Sweeny Limo” and head FURTHER South – this time for a week in the Carolinas with my family – and a Sheets-side Family Reunion!
Please pray for the Sheets Clan over the next few weeks – Ella is FINALLY getting used to her “schedule” and these weeks of camp with either make or break us (and/or her)! We WILL have an air conditioned apartment for the two weeks of camp, but the change of pace and the location difference will be obvious to our bundle of joy! Even so, we are SO looking foward to seeing how the Lord moves in these two weeks of camp in the lives of the teens who will be present! It will be a good time for us, too, as we will have even MORE opportunity to pour into the lives of OUR teens who will be attending both events!
Stay tuned for updates from Fairmount and beyond (as I find Internet access)!
Finally, I leave you with yet another Ella-clip – this one is of her chatting it up with Mommy and Daddy tonight:
