Here are some highlights from the week:
1. You can get to Linden by traveling through Centerville. It is not the most direct route, but eventually, you will get there.
2. Yes, when it is 90+ outside, "the princess" (you know who you are) will sweat.
3. I can save a 6th graders life while kayaking on the Duck River; but I will lose my sunglasses and ankle wrap in the process.
4. Apparently SZ works out - and the 5th grade girls notice.
5. Ghetto style was a new addition to the various types of drama we practiced in the music and drama campers choice.
6. Mr GV's heart actually grew Three & Three times & Three sizes & 3 & 3 times & 3 sizes (just like the Grinch's) when he was supervising the running of the stairs.
7. The Perry Co. ER is the size of the Education Suites at the TSC office. They are very helpful when you have fallen and you can't get up (because you've sprained your ankle and you can't bear weight.)
8. 5 days worth of no green vegetables at a meal equal's a trip to Cracker Barrel for green beans on the way home.
9. Thanks to Reagan, and the Hudson River Experience, I got to experience my life long dream of singing in a real band...and...
10. Thanks to DJ, I experienced the most embarassing moment of my life...we will just leave it at that.
And the Most Happy Day came when 40+ kids gave their lives to Jesus during the week (and the weeks since camp). Praise Him from Whom all blessings flow!!! All of the weeks of prep, all of the nightmares I had about registration morning, and everytime I thought "what in the world have I gotten myself into", was completely worth it, when sweet little faces are standing in front of you saying that they want to ask Jesus into their heart. There were 2 kids in particular that really touched my heart. Thank you, Lord, for letting me be their mom and for allowing me to have the job that I have!!! (You might want to press pause on the music so that you can hear the video.)
Once again, as happens often here on the karaoke confessions blog, the words of the song say it better than I ever could!!!
The greatest day in history, Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross, The empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He's alive
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed
When I stand, in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am Yours Jesus You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He's alive
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same OHH NO
Forever I am changed
