WatchSwim Until You Can’t See Land- Frightened Rabbit
You be tails, I'll be sonic
Another thing, don’t make plans. Make your plans to trust in the Lord. He will trace your path and take you down the right trail. Quit trying to muster up your own direct passageway. It will only comprise of poison ivy, dangerous creatures and deadly marshes. Flee from that. Run down His path and be set free. —Unless, although, you like a challenge.
“Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me...”

Psalm 143:8
dr. pepper, sweatpants, and fern gully
The bell is ringing outside, indicating that someone else has laid down their own cross and chosen to give themselves over to Jesus Christ. As I say a prayer for each new walker, I think about how much I complain about my job.

Next term I probably won’t know a single kamper, which makes me feel defeated almost. I also will be fully...
Kamp, with a K
Kamp is as swell as can be. There are very few times so far in which I’ve wished I were home. That is a great feeling. Being energized enough to handle these kids day in and day out can only come from God. I can’t even begin to fully describe how amazing my kids are. They are all studs and have not failed to keep me going every day. Not only are they physically beautiful but their...
Howdy Hey, Howdy Ho
Being the K-west photographer is much more demanding than I thought. There is no particular place to be at any particular time. You have to make your own schedule and make sure you take a picture of each kid and make sure they’re online for parents to look at, each day. Different things occur every day, making this job sporadic and different. I love this job but it’s going to take a...
