I'm a Fellowshippin', I'm a Fellowshippin'...

CAMP holds a special place in our hearts. For many years we have spent a week of July off Percy Priest Lake with Rural Hill. It is undoubtedly referred to by all as, "THE greatest week of the year." This was the first year for my entire family (Bret included) to not be at camp together. The laughs, the tears, the hugs and the memories have created a special bond with people there that seems to transcend time and distance apart. Last week we were able to go up and visit for a portion of this year's camp. Even just a taste of camp was such a blessing.

So here is a little insight into the last 9 years of our life at camp.

Some of my favorite memories:

Bret leading singing on the porch

- the excitement of those kids (and adults) praising God is unbelievable.

I am convinced our camp is the closest thing to heaven we have on Earth. Praise be to God for the times spent and the amazing way the message of Christ is shared at camp.
