Ready For The Next Adventure...

I have much that I need to say.  It is written on scraps of paper in my van and as bits of sentences in various scattered files.  I will get to it, but not today...

For now, how about some adventure pics from the past couple of days...  These are in no real, particular order:

 This is the Trickiest Part of the Course!

 And the Zip Line:

The Balloon Launch:

Ian lost his first balloon before the launch.  He cried.  A lot.  I was pretty impressed by one of the teens who came up to him and reminded him that these balloons had prayer requests on them, and that since his balloon went up first, God would see it first!  I'm not sure it was great theology, but it sure was a nice gesture for my sad, little guy.  This is the first balloon:

And... ya know... What's Campmeeting Without
The Snack Shack:

These were Single Scoops...
I Kid You Not:

What We Hope For
By: Carolyn Arends
 
I remember waiting up till it got dark
Searching till I found the brightest star
Making my wish with all my heart
But we grow up and so do all our dreams
Somehow without us even noticing
We set our sights on lesser things
Oh, to go back when we still believed

That what we hope for
Is not too much to ask for
And what we pray for
Isn't nearly big enough
'Cause what we dream of
Cannot compare to God's love
And what He wants for us is so much more
More than what we hope for

We start out so innocent and wise
Before we cut the world down to our size
We still have that wonder in our eyes
So maybe that's why Jesus said to come
With the faith we had when we were young
Trusting in a world beyond this one
Letting our imaginations run

'Cause what we hope for
Is not too much to ask for
And what we pray for
Isn't nearly big enough
What we dream of
Cannot compare to God's love
And what He wants for us is so much more
More than what we hope for
More than what we hope for
