The Nourisment of Community: Camp Viola
Camp Notes: The rhythm of community life brings nourishment to our souls, inspiration to our intellect.Those who say they need take time away to rest and get themselves together, have not yet discovered the nourishment that community brings. In community, the rhythms of rest and play, sleep and labor, social excursion and spiritual introversion, co-exist and flow together. While one sleeps, another watches. While one sits under a tree and grills food, another drives to town for more plates. Bursts of activity and pauses of contemplation are part of God's rhythm for nature and man.
