Camp Stuff

Camp was an awesome experience for me this year. I couldn't volunteer to be a host home or to be a full time volunteer, so I volunteered to make lunches and it turned out that I could be there for supper as well. My kids are such troopers, they were so good about helping straighten the bathrooms, emptying trash, and refilling soap, paper towels and toilet paper. Alex had the job of telling the campers to "take a bag, and a sawich." Wednesday was sloppy joe day and Alex aruged with Jimmy. Jimmy wanted two sloppy joes and Alex wasn't going to let it happen. Alex kept taking the extra sandwich out of Jimmy's hands. Jimmy had to trick Alex to get away. It was hilarious. Alex wasn't intimidated at all. Alex is also terrified of Travis' dad. Mr. Bush told Alex he was going to poke him with his cane and Alex busted into tears. He still hides behind me whenever he sees Mr. Bush coming. I really need to borrow that cane! Brianna had a great time playing and hanging out with the kids. The youth made a point to thank Brianna for helping. Thursday night we went to Jennifer's house with her girls and joined in their devotion time. Brianna got involved in the conversation and added a lot. Whatever we asked her to do, she did. She even got bit by fire ants and didn't complain as much as the big kids did. Alex had his first dinner date with Maranda. I have a ton of thoughts on the sermons, but won't bore you with them.

I saw this verse on a t-shirt yesterday and thought it summed up the week: "Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity." 1Timothy 4:12
