As I began my day today I noticed some of the classic tale-tell signs that summer is fast approaching.

As a youth minister, I know that summer is right around the corner when I see…

a) Checks for various events and camps
b) File folders labeled for these various events and camps
c) Release forms filled out and returned for these various events and camps
d) Spreadsheets and sign-up sheets filled with the names of campers and teens

As of right now, every check that I was given this weekend is counted and logged. Release forms have been copied and filed into place. I have also updated my computer spreadsheets. I am good to go!

That is until Wednesday when I will probably be handed another round of checks and forms.

Oh yeah, Summer is almost here.
