Day Two - Scrapple?

Scrapple is a simply horrible meal at anytime, but especially for breakfast. But in PA it is considered a treat, though I will never figure out why. But that is what Kimmy had for breakfast and I just happily settled for two eggs and no scrapple.

We got out on the water quite a bit later than we had anticipated, due to the fact that we could not find a boat ramp we were pleased with, but finally we did get out on the water and it was another glorious day. Of course we did not feel that way eight hours later when we got out of the boat back at camp. We were sun and wind beaten and ready to cook up some dinner.

Fishing tally for the day was much better than day one. We caught some nice fish and gently released them back into the river. Conversation tally for the day was excellent, discussing leadership issues for much of the day as well as what is the true nature of ministry, to which we decided the core of ministry is relationships, although it can be rare to see in the church.

We were wondering why it is rare to see relational leadership development in the church? Our conclusion was that the high demands on pastors and other leaders, works in opposition to relationships. I wonder how that could be changed? If you have ideas, feel free to post your comments here.

It was a good day on the Juniata River.

Having left PA some 28 years ago, I must say that scrapple IS one of the things that I have missed. A local store has begun to carry it (not Habersetts, which is the best) so I have been able to transport myself via the skillet back to my youth and enjoy a breakfast of scrambled eggs and crispy scrapple. Hmm! Too bad we're out at the moment.
