PRAYER

be with me lord as i share my understanding of your love for us all, Amen.

Our Epistle lesson for today is 2 Corinthians 1:18-22 (you can follow along in you pew bible on page

168 new testament)

As I think further into the understanding of the scripture....

Y.E.S to me would mean Your Eternal Spirt. That light in your heart that you sung about as a three

year old was put there by God at your birth what we do In our

lives to praise god and trust in him forever is how that flame will grow. As we take our walk with God

have any kids from the ages 6-17, you should bring them out for a week. I was a camper there 6 years,

and now have the privelage to work there as a counselor. since this is my third year dong so, i have

come across many yes moments, since i can always feel God in all the people at the camp. One

moment that stands out occurred

last year during MINI camp, where kids ages 5-7 can come for half a

week to check out the camp. Stuart, or Princess Peach as he wanted to be called, was in my hogan.

He was a very energetic kid, but really didn't like any of the other kids in the hogan, so that caused him

to be by himself a lot

, which didn't help the energy problem. his first day was a little rocky, and he
