I am always amazed at how close a group can become in only two days. It always leaves me looking forward to the next trip just as much as I looked forward to that first one. I feel that most of all, Venture has been a growing experience for me because of the people I have met. I feel privileged to have worked with Sandy, Dave, Kim, Will, Jeter, Chris, Murph, Amy, Rob, and everyone else. I will remember everyone from Venture for the rest of my life, because they were a large part of some of my best weekends ever.
Many people think of their lives as a book, with different chapters.
I look upon my life as a river. Head waters that are small and fragile, start life. Eventually, other rivers and creeks start flowing into the river that, introduces you to other people. As the river is getting larger and more complicated, it creates rapids. These rapids, pose problems and challenges for the individual.
