Hold Your Breath

The slow slow assent if over. It's time to hold your breath. Right at the top of the highest point- just before you know the rush is eminent. That point where there is no return - just enjoy the ride!.

Last week end I took my 11 year old grandson to Six Flags. He was far braver than I anticipated, wanting to go for every one of the rides - the scarier the better. He wasn't scared, but I was for him as I watched from my bench in the shade at the exit door.

After months of planning for Creative Arts Camp at Shepherd's Staff, today was packing day. The schedule chart has been shuffled multiple times. The Health forms have been sent out. The cabin groups have been assigned. The wonderful staff members have volunteered thier time and talents to serve the campers. Bible study material is in hand. Program planning is in place for a terrific week of fun, learning and growing- it is all about to begin.

Three car load of kids will come from Texas (some 620 miles away) Other cars will bring excited kids from Hays, Goodland, Oberlin, Oakley, Quinter, Wamego, and Colorado.

By Sunday the activity areas will be set up and campers will arrive in time for dinner, a trip to the ropes course and then a campfire progam of singing and a message. The rest of the week will be a memorble time for all , with an evening performance on Friday.

Under God's Big Top is the theme for the week as we study the Greatest Story Ever Told - of God's redeeming Love .
