another great week at Tahkodah

Well, we are home from another wonderful week at Camp Tahkodah!

All three daughters agreed this was the best session ever... and I can't disagree. This year's theme was 'Reach for the Stars', and we saw a lot of kiddos do just that. A very inspiring and cup-filling time!

It is always good to be home, but this week is one we look forward to every year. For our part, Kelly and I are always blessed by making new friendships and renewing old ones... Ross and Nita are always wonderful to work with, and Penny (head cook) is one of our very favorite people. Nurse Karen always takes such good care of us all, and Lindsey Webster did an excellent job this year as head counselor.

We made new friends among the other adult volunteers... Mark and Lindsey Simmons are a delightful young couple who serve the Burleson, Texas church of Christ as youth ministers.... Todd and Joy Miller are absolutely terrific! (Todd's dad is Jule Miller of the filmstrip fame!) Todd serves as the children's minister at Downtown church of Christ in Searcy, and Joy works at a private preschool...we really enjoyed sharing stories and getting to know them... Steve and Vicki Smith are the new caretakers at Camp, and they have jumped in with both feet! We look forward to seeing them for years to come as we return to Camp T.

We are all bone tired, and very happy to sleep in our own beds tonight... and a little sad that our week at Camp Tahkodah is over. It is our favorite place on earth!

Blessings!
