The image of a high place is very special to me. In the bible, the “high places” were holy spots. When God talked to Moses He called him to the top of a mountain; when Jesus was transfigured before Peter and John, it was on a mountain top. When we come to the high places, God meets us there, it is a place where He dwells. In the solitude of a mountain top, surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation, we have less distractions, the world gets quieter, things get simpler.
For those who love to climb, a high place is a blissful experience. Whether it’s a building that was just scaled or the top of a difficult rock climb, being in a “high place” is the reward for the work just invested. The high places offer beautiful views, clearer air and a sense of solitude and belonging.
Although we cannot always live in a high place, it is healthy and commending act to regularly return to these places, striving after God and His presence.
And so, I would like to invite you to some of my high places. This website is not only a record of my daily life, but it’s how God is working through my ministry and how He’s working in my life. My hope is that anyone following this blog will be able to see God’s work, as well as some of the fun and excitement that naturally happens at Camp. So, follow and enjoy, but my challenge to you is to see God’s work in the midst of all of this and His glory will shine through.
Thanks and I'm excited to show you all of the ways that God is acting here!
