Irenic Thoughts

Irenic. The word means peaceful. This web log (or blog) exists to create an ongoing, and hopefully peaceful, series of comments on the life of King of Peace Episcopal Church. This is not a closed community. You are highly encouraged to comment on any post or to send your own posts.

A rainy pool

Five minutes. Maybe ten. That's how long the Pool Party and Cookout at Honey Creek was officially underway before the rain hit. A good steady shower that chased Troop 226's Boy Scout Court of Honor into the Chapel and sent everyone else running for shelter.

But I was always told that sun shiny showers don't last half and hour and neither did this one. The sun came back out, more hamburgers and hot dogs were grilled, the kids jumped in the pool and sea kayaks hit the creek. It ended up being a great three hours at our camp and conference center for King of Peace's 7th annual Pool Party.

I didn't count, but looking through all the pictures it seems like about 70 people came and all braved the rain to see the sun shine again. It was a great way to celebrate the 6th anniversary of my ordination as a priest.
