Lessons From The Circle Pool
Many years ago, when I was about six or seven years old, my family and I were on vacation in the serene Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania at the Pinebrook Bible Conference and Retreat Center. They used to have a really unique swimming pool there, a type that I had never seen before and have never seen again. It was a circular pool instead of the standard rectangular one that you find at such places. We had been there before a few times and came to call it “The Circle Pool” whenever we would reminisce about the place and nearly forgot the name of the conference center entirely by always referring to it as “The Place with The Circle Pool”. While that pool is long gone now, we still remember it fondly. At the outer rim of the pool, it was shallow and then got deeper as you got to the center. The shallow part was only a foot or so deep, but the center was a respectable six feet. My older brother was having fun running around with some new kids he met, and my little sister was too young to swim on her own without our mom holding her, so I decided it was a good time to try to teach myself how to swim in the shallow parts of the pool.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
