Happy Monday!

We've lost Norm Daniels! "The Norm" is not just a standard, but a personality that for many years has helped define the image and face of Hume Lake. Norm has accepted the position of Executive Director for Pine Valley Bible Conference Center near San Diego. (Congratulations, I guess. How can I possibly be happy about this?)

You may not recognize Norm, but you have surely seen some of his creations. He has designed all of our team posters over the years, and designed and painted the sets and back drops for our Ponderosa Chapel, and for many years was our graphic artist.

An accomplished plen aire artist, he is known almost as much for his paintings of big boards and bigger waves (check out his website: normhere.com). Like most creative types, he refuses to wear shoes and resists conformity. He has led our Dawn Patrol (morning worship) and is one of the favorite instructors at the Joshua Wilderness Institute. We also lose his wife, Patsy (of the "Hi Patsy!" fame), and his children who have all been key players on our staff.

If you ever bought one of the Hume team posters at the country fair, its value just went up by 50 cents on ebay! If you would like to send him a quick note accusing him of being out of the will of God, you can reach him at: ndaniels@humelake.org.

Kept,

Jeff Lilley
Executive Director
