We've just wrapped up Day Camp and what fun it is. I had one of the first year summer staff tell me how much fun he'd had this week with the day campers (1st-3rd grade students). I said that's one of the reasons I enjoy being here. What other "job" let's you act like a kid most of the time.
These children are my Emmalena crew. They are part of the group of students I mentioned last month whose classrooms I visit regularly with a biblical character lesson. It's so much fun to meet them outside of school and see their surprised look. It's like they think you never go or do anything besides visit their school.
This week they had a real treat. They got to meet Mrs. "Hotson". (I always tell the students the easiest way to remember my name is to think of the sun and remember it is hot. Then put those two things together to get Mr. "Hotson". It works out well.) Debbie and I led the music time teaching them a few new songs and that great classic, We Are Nathanael Boys and Girls. That one ends with a rousing cheer of "Camp Nathanael! Camp Nathanael! Rah! Rah! Rah!" It usually lifts the roof!
Only the Lord could put me in a place where I have this much fun.
That's what's happening along the banks of Troublesome Creek until next time.
