The blog from the back bench will be on vacation until August 26^th (my 18^th anniversary). I’ve been catching up on family time, directing games at Camp Hope, and starting some door to door. In the meantime, you may want to view our feature video from camp. Each year I spend a week at Camp Hope, a Christian Camp in Dahlonega entertaining over 120 teenagers (not much different from the General Assembly). This year’s theme was “The Battle of Loch Pony”, a Scottish theme.

I’ll be back online shortly, so see you soon!

The SC political world is in prayer today for Austin Whetsell, oldest son of republican political consultant, Walter Whetsell, owner of Starboard Communications. Austin was caught in a riptide on Sunday around 4PM in Zihuantenejo, Mexico. Walter and Austin went to Mexico on a short term mission trip for their church, Lexington Presbyterian.
