 Years ago, I worked at a summer day camp outside of Austin, TX. It was fun but exhausting and I based the camp in Faith and Hope on my experience there.
One of the counselor nights, where we all got to go hang out at camp without kids and play around with the different areas ourselves, I decided to try the climbing tower and zip line. I was in much better shape back then than I am now, but still not as strong as I thought I was. I did make it to the top, though the guys up there had to pull me a bit to get me over the edge. Then, I buckled in and sat at the precipice to do the zip line.

 Temperatures in Tennessee have dropped this week. It's glorious! But it also means it's finally the end of gardening for this year.
All I've been picking the last few weeks has been tomatoes and okra. And a few peppers. The green beans, squash, cucumbers, and other veggies had already given up over a month ago. But, as I glanced at the greenery popping up amid my composting, I had to laugh.  For the last few years, my family has participated in a program called Lads to Leaders. It encourages children to hone their skills needed as they grow so they can be leaders in the church in the future. We have insisted our son participate in Song Leading the last few years because up until now, he hasn't had to do anything but get up and start the song. Well, he's in third grade this year, and that means the requirements are a little more. He needs to add in the hand motions too.
 Saturday was set to be a busy one. My husband was gone all day at a Quiz Bowl tournament for school. My son had a soccer game at 10:30. My daughter and I were attending a ladies' tea at 2, with the son off to stay with a friend. Everything was scheduled and set, ready to go.
Only one problem. |
