Farewell, For Now
As I write this, we’re sitting in the airport Sunday morning in Warsaw listening to my Exodus 15 CD and waiting to check in for our flight back to the United States. I’ll post it when I get home, which will be a little more than 24 hours from now.
It hardly seems possible that FishArt is over and our week in Poland is quickly drawing to a close. It was an amazing week and I feel blessed to have been a part of it. If FishArt is the same week next year, there’s just 358 days left until we see many of you again. This is my second FishArt and I fully intend to make it a tradition every year. If God is gracious to me, I will be back next year working on the blog. For those of you who were on our team this year, I hope you choose to come back and work with us as well.
For those who did not attend FishArt but are reading about it online, you missed a great week of learning about the arts and building our relationship with God. The staff at PROeM knows how to put on a good camp.
We want you to keep checking this blog. There are still things that need to be posted. The daily videos for Wednesday and Thursday; the blog team’s final project, “The Bible in 8 Minutes”; plus some videos and photos from the various workshops. We also hope to post the entire interview with the worship leaders as they discuss the meaning of worship. So keep checking the blog, at least for the next few days.
Thank you once again for allowing my family and me to be a part of your lives for the past week. I am better for having done so.

More writing practice
Oto kolejny cwiczebny artykul napisany przez warsztat dziennikarski.
Here’s more writing practice by the Blog team.
Kubica pokonuje strach i przeciwnikow
Robert Kubica w niespelna rok po wypadku, ktory napewno wszyscy pamietamy, odwazyl sie wystartowac w wyscigu na tym samym
torze i … WYGRAL GO‼ Pokonał nie tylko swoich rywali, ale takze swoj strach i zle wspomnienia sprzed roku.
2007 rok, Kanada, Montreal, tor Formuly 1. Robert Kubica, pierwszy Polak, ktory kiedykolwiek
wystartowal w wyscigu Formuly 1. Mimo iz nie jest faworytem znajduje sie na bardzo dobrej pozycji i ma szanse na miejsce na podium. Jestesmy w polowie
wyscigu, Kubica rozwinal predkosc ok. 300 km/h. Zbliza sie do zakretu, gdy nagle widzimy jak jego samochod marki BMW uderza w prawa sciane toru… wszyscy
kibice wstrzymuja oddech w momencie gdy bolid odbija sie, koziolkuje w poprzek toru i zatrzymuje sie na lewej bandzie… Do szczatkow samochodu podbiegaja
ratownicy, wciagaja go i sprawdzaja odruchy zycia… Mamy potwierdzenie! Kubica ZYJE!
2008 rok, Kanada, Montreal, tor Formuly 1. Robert Kubica ponownie startuje w wyscigu. Ten sam tor, to samo miejsce i zle
wspomnienia sprzed roku… Polski reprezentant BMW Sauber wystartowal z drugiej pozycji. Pokonujac swoj lek Kubica minal niefortunny zakret… Wyprzedzil
wszystkich przeciwnikow i z determinacja dazy do mety. Zostalo mu ostatnie okrazenie… Juz widzi choragiewke w bialo czarna krate oznaczajaca FINISH!Tak, to
sie dzieje naprawde!Kubica wygral wyscig Formuly 1‼
Kubica z tryumfalnym usmiechem stoi na najwyzszym miejscu na podium. Nawet nie wie, jak ważny to dzień dla historii polskiego sportu.
Kubica Triumphs Over Fears and Competitors
Robert Kubica, a year after a terrible crash that we all remember for sure, had the courage to
compete again on the same track. AND HE WON! He defeated not only his competitors, his fear and his bad memories.
It’s 2007 in Montreal, Canada, for the Formula 1 race. Robert Kubica, the first Polish person ever to
compete in this race, is not the favorite, but has a good chance to be on the podium at the end of the race. In the middle of the race, Kubica reached 190
mph and is approaching a turn and his BMW car hit the wall on the right side of the track. The entire audience is holding their breath as his car crosses the
track while flipping several times. It comes to rest against the left wall. The medical officials rush to the remaining pieces of the car to see if he is
alive. We have the proof—he is ALIVE!
It’s 2008 in Montreal Canada for the Formula 1 race. Robert Kubica is again competing in the race at the same track in the same place with many bad
memories. The Polish representative in the BMW Sauber car started from the second position. He defeated his fear and passed the unfortunate turn. He
passed his competitors and with determination he headed to the finish. Yes, it’s happening for real! Kubica won the Formula 1 race!
Kubica is smiling with triumph and is standing on the highest place on the podium. He doesn’t even realize the significance of this day in the history
of Polish sports.

Trabka przeciwko gitarze akustycznej / Trumpet vs. acoustic guitar
Napisane przez Ieva Brauksa / Written by Ieva Brauksa
Shane White powiedzial: “Brian na jednym, ze spotkan stwierdzil ze granie na trabce nie jest wcale fajne. A wlasnie ze jest super!”
Jednak po dluzszej chwili Shane przyznal, ze ci co graja na trabkach nie maja jak sie ustawic by wygladac “cool”. Ale za to granie moze byc naprawde swietne, a juz na pewno dla jazz’u, ktory Shane uwielbia.
Po za tym Shane gral kiedys na trabce, ale po 8,5 roku zdecydowal sie na zmiane instrumentu na gitare akustyczna. Po trzech miesiacach codziennych cwiczen po 3-4 godziny wreszcie czul sie na tyle pewnie by zagrac piosenke.
Na naszym obozie, Shane prowadzi warsztaty z gitary akustycznej. Kazdy bez wzgledu na poziom ma mozliwosc cwiczenia swoich umiejetnosci zarowno w grupie jak i indywidualnie.
Obozowicze, ktorzy uczeszczaja na te warsztaty przyznali, ze jest to swietna okazja zeby nauczyc sie czegos nowego. Zniecierpliwieni czekamy by uslyszec wyniki ich przygotowan juz w piatek wieczorem.
Trumpet vs. acoustic guitar
“Brian in the meeting said it’s not cool to play trumpet. It’s totally cool!” said Shane White.
Still, after a moment of demonstration of some possibilities, Shane admitted that there are no cool trumpet poses, though playing can be cool, as it is an important part of jazz music he enjoys.
Though Shane was a trumpet player before, eight and a half years ago he decided to switch to acoustic guitar. After three months of daily practices of 3-4 hours he finally felt good about playing a song.
In Fishart camp Shane is leading the acoustic guitar workshop. There is a possibility for people with different levels of knowledge to practice playing this instrument, both in training for playing together and individual consultations.
Campers who have joined this workshop admit that it is a great opportunity to learn something new. We are eager to hear the results of these practices on Friday evening!
