So MOBS 2008 is over, and I am now mostly recovered from the experience and the weekend in Chicago I spent immediately afterward. I was glad to be there, but felt challenged about my participation. I have been having trouble sleeping lately and the shared quarters and constant rain (among other things, ... a big "shout out" to my neighbors at Motel 6 here!) made rest rather elusive. Operating on less than 2 hours of sleep is not great preparation for a Saturday full of bible study, but there was good in it nonetheless.

I appreciated Steve's talk entitled "Stewards of Time, Ability, and Opportunity" which very directly challenged us men on dozens of characteristics of the spirit, many of which we are still no doubt busy working on in our lives. I appreciated the singing together and the camaraderie with the men there. Several good discussions were enjoyed by this camper on Friday night. I only wish I had been more rested and that we had more time to enjoy the weekend together. The rain made it a little uncomfortable, even indoors due to the very high humidity.

I have another post I'll put up very soon that will talk about the recordings I attempted to make at MOBS using my new PCM recorder. I intend to post some of these tracks for download, a few of which include decent captures of the singing sessions.
