About a month ago I spent a weekend at the Khalari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells with around 900 students and leaders. I was in a suite with 15 junior high guys and two other leaders. Everyone arrives for the weekend on Friday night. The weekend opens with a main session, which consists of some rocking jams and a message. The students are pretty jacked up for the weekend and when you throw mass quanities of Mountain Dew and giant Pixie Stix that last thing they want to do is go to sleep.
They finally started coming down and got to sleep around 2:00 or so. 7:00 Saturday morning they were up and ready to go. They were so full of energy and being nuts and it was so early. I snuck into the shower and it was so peaceful. It was the warmest most delightful shower I think I have ever taken. I did not want to get out. I thought to myself that this is what being a parent must feel like. The only moments you get to yourself are in the shower. When I got out I said something to one of the other leaders who has four kids. He laughed and said that most of the time you are lucky to get that peace in the shower. There is always someone pouding on the door need something.
