Then it was off to the Militia Immaculata Washington Summer Camp that was being held just down the road at a Lakeview Christian Camp (near Wild Waves, you what knows the area).\u00a0 I\u2019m a huge fan of the MI folks (who are, despite the name, not a Catholic paramilitary organization training youth to prepare for the Great Cleansing Fire, but are instead a beautiful Marian apostolate started by St. Maximilian Kolbe and based at Marytown <\/a>in Chicago).\u00a0 They\u2019ve done this camp for several years running and the kids and the staff are just fantastic people.\u00a0 My family have been involved in various capacities over the years and we think the world of those guys, both at camp and back in Chicago.\u00a0 Just being around them is a gigantic boost of hope for the Church.\u00a0 They make you feel like a million bucks and they know how to both worship and how to have a good time.\u00a0 They asked me to come down and give a little talk on evangelization, so I did.\u00a0 But I was far more evangelized than they were, because the joy was like sunshine.\u00a0 Fantastic group of youthly folk!\u00a0 Thanks be to God for them through our Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n

Plus, I got to shove my son Peter off a dock and into the lake.\u00a0 So there\u2019s that too.<\/p>\n

Anyway, as a result, I got nothing done yesterday and this is a short week, so I will be busy playing catchup today.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
