\f0\fs24 \cf0 Happy weekend everybody! You're watching the Sanctuary Collective collab channel.\

\ It has been HOT on the east coast. So our
theme this week is summertime! Hence the towel, and the beach umbrella, and the block party
outside, and the swim trunks that I'm wearing that you can't actually see. I grew up on
the coast of Virginia, so I spent a lot of time at the beach when I was younger. I'm
also really pale, so that meant I spent a lot of time sunburnt as well. We also spent
a lot of time in the local library. I would check out STACKS of books at a time. Then
there was the summer that my mom decided she was gonna teach me and my brother Latin. I
don't think that was fun for any of us.\ \
But when I got older, one of my favorite things that happened during the summer was a beach
trip that my junior high youth group used to take at the end of every summer. We went
to Emerald Isle in North Carolina. We spent a lot of time doing devotions and having worship
and getting to know each other, and just playing on the beach. It was a great way to wrap up
the summer before school started.\ \
I actually ended up living with those youth leaders later when I was sorting out some
of my own identity. And it got to come around full circle when I got to be one of the youth
leaders on their annual trip to Emerald Isle. It was a lot of fun being behind the scenes!
I remember being really excited that I got to be in on all the staff meetings and stuff.\
\ So those are some of my favorite summer memories
- how about you? I'd love to hear from you. And I promised my friend Eli on YouTube that
I was gonna be better about responding to everybody's comments. If you comment on this
video, I WILL write you back! Hope you're staying cool wherever you are - I'll see you
next week!\ \
...Okay, fine, you can see my swim trunks. [dancing]\
