Road Trip...

We were blessed to be able to hit the road one more time and head back to the mountains of New Mexico last weekend. Wes went back to work the last two weeks of Camp Blue Haven sixth session.
Not sure how we are going to pay for our gas card next month. Ouch. It sure was nice to get out of the extreme heat for a few days. We were so blessed to be there during a big rain storm and actually needed a sweatshirt. What an incredible gift! Loved it. I did not take too many pictures but here are a few below...
We went by and picked up my folks and took them with us. This gorgeous sunrise greeted us as we got up on Sat. morning at their house. A lovely sight.

Fuzzy, (sorry) picture of the camp staff. What an awesome group of people.

Love, love, love this family. My sweet brother and wonderful wife and kiddos.

So dear to my heart.

This summer's CBH counselors. Not a more dedicated, loving group of people anywhere.

What a blessing they have been to hundreds of campers.

You guys love Bible camp the way we do! I have a couple of pics posted about Silver Maple Camp which I just retured from. Had 15 baptisms in one week. Son and daughter are at another camp in Wyoming this week. Great for kids and adults.

This camp you guys are at looks like a good one.

So easy it's embarrassing! Here it is: One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix. 1 semi sweet choc. chips 1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup) 1small carton of whipping cream 1 package of cream cheese Half cup sugar Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble. Stir together cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream with blender until smooth. Melt chocolate chips in bowl and then add half and half. Stir until smooth. Layer in trifle dish. Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! 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
