Letter From Camp

Our scoutmaster told us all to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and worried. We are OK. Only 1 of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it happened.

Queen Victoria was much loved. She made unexpected calls on the farm folks who lived in cottages. Any day might be a royal day, and the Scots had a chair prepared for her visit. Their houses were kept spotless. They were a clean and wholesome people, but her announced visits added to the joy of

HARD WORK, STRONG CHARACTER
Delayed gratification is also important in training children. A lot of parents are unwilling to make sacrifices that are necessary in order to meet their children’s deepest needs. A promotion at work, a TV show, or a nap on the sofa may all seem much more enticing

There was a clever young guy named Somebody Else
There was nothing this can’t do
He is busy from morning till late at night
Substituting for you
You’re asked to do this or do that
And what is your ready reply

SO much to do in this

But preacher, you say, I’ve read the end. This old world just gets worse and worse until God burns it up. You’re right. But you know what – you will die someday but you run and work out anyway. Someday something will kill you, but you still watch what you eat. When you get sick, you go see the

Hammers and Anvils
I paused last eve beside the blacksmith’s door.
And heard the anvil ring, the vesper’s chime.
And looking in I saw upon the floor

“How many anvils have you had?” said I.
To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one,” he

Often when we sin, and get caught in the act by the Lord, and He ask us what we are doing, we reply, "Nothing!" "I wasn’t doing anything."
It is kinda like the time that I caught my oldest daughter (she was about 3 or 4 years old) eating jelly out of the Jelly jar. "Nikki, are you eating out of

The hope of heaven is a powerful strength for godly living that many people seem to virtually ignore in their daily lives. It was Myrtle Erickson who wrote:
Think of stepping on a shore and finding it heaven

A pastor in a small Methodist church in Georgia asked his congregation one morning, ‘How many of you here are Methodist’s?’ Everybody but one little old lady raised their hand.
After the service he asked her what she was and she said, ‘I am a baptist’.

Just getting out of the driveway was a major feat during last year’s snow and ice storms. One co-worker was relating how he used his seven-year-old son’s baseball bat to smash the slick coat of ice on his driveway. He got cold and went inside for a cup of coffee before attempting to clear the car.

My daughter came home from school one day with tears in her eyes. "Tori said that she won’t be my friend unless I sit with her on the bus." Just like that, a seven year old had placed conditions on a friendship that should have been unconditional. Sometimes we forget that Jesus loves us
