Atlasta Blog -- Beginnings

I chose this name for my blog because when I was a kid, my uncle owned a camp on the upper shores of Lake Michigan and he called it Atlasta Camp. I got to go there only once and for that, it was special. It was a different time in a different land, and really didn't have much to do with my regular life.
I will dedicate this blog to the pursuit of finding a different time in a different land, wherever that may be, and to exploring possibilities for renewal and recreation.
