Our church has camps throughout the summer and few a days during the summer I go there to work in the kitchen. We have lots of fun working, visiting and there is always lots of laughter. The camp is set in the woods away from civilization... with no internet access or even little cell phone access. When I go there it is a time to relax, get away from the day to day trials that stress me and be with others that believe the same way, cooking, baking and talking about the trials and temptations that beset us on our travels. Each year I meet someone new and a friendship starts.

Once again this year I had a fun time. Cookies were baked and frozen for the next camp, no pulla as that was eaten fresh and the children kept asking for more. As I leave the camp, I reflect on my days there and marvel on how God has been so gracious.
