Yikkes!!

Mr. BIG Bear that has been coming into camp at Camp Blue Haven and feasting on whatever is in the trash cans. Excuse me?? Am I dreaming? Yikkes!!!

Word is as of yesterday that the game warden has given permission to shoot with real bullets. Mr. BIG Bear has taken a bullet and has not been seen for over 24 hours. Yea! Now, for the other 2 mama's and a few babies...


I am sure it is really hard to know what to do about these kind of scary animals that wander into people areas. After all...the people are living in their natural territory I guess. All I know is that extra prayers are being said for rain and for safety for campers and staff and well...I guess bears.


Will says it is really not so worrisome. They are no longer sleeping out. (good) and when they get up at night to (aheemm) head for the potty they don't go alone. Heavens no! I bet the girls don't get out of their cabins AT ALL for the bathroom walk at night. No sir. Wes used to call the walk from his cabin to the bathroom the walk of death when they had to go during the night.


I guess it all makes camp a little more exciting!

Just some random thoughts. You are welcome.

Blessings on your day.

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
