Prayer Request

Please pray for one of my friends from UA, Kristen Trotter. I was just browsing Facebook, and looking at friends who had updated their profiles. I discovered Kristen has been spending her summer in Beirut, Lebanon writing for The Daily Star newspaper. (She's quite the world traveler. She spent a semester in Egypt last year.) Anyways, she's sorta stuck there currently, until they evacuate the Americans, because Israel bombed the airport. She said she is safe and fine right now, unless Israel starts "carpet bombing residential areas."

Please pray for her safekeeping and safe return to the U.S.

"People get ready, Jesus is coming..."

As thing escalate in the Middle East, I am reminded:

"And, behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." (12)

"He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. A-men'. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (20)

Rafting Trip

This weekend some of my best friends and I went on a rafting trip. Unfortunately I don't have any actual rafting pictures because obviously my camera is not waterproof. So the group picture was taken that morning before rafting at the bear shelter where we stayed the night. It was so beautiful and there was an amazing view. You can see the lake behind us. After getting very little sleep at the bear shelter we headed for breakfast and rafting. We had three rafts with Riley, Lee and Brett as our captains. Riley being a certified guide so he let Caleb and Brian try at being captain for a while. So I was on Lee's raft with Natalie, Jim and Derrick. We were pretty much an awesome team once we all decided that if we actually listened to Lee we wouldn't get stuck on rocks or hit trees which we did once before. So all this to say, it was awesome and my friends are awesome and we're definitely doing it again!

More PICS! Some of my Favs:

Sister Sharon gracefully steps out of the kiddie pool after being politely placed inside. What a tradition. 11 years going strong.




Zanna feeds Ranger Owens.




The ladies in the kitchen (& Brother Talley) take a much deserved rest.




Okay...so this picture is just really cool. Looks like something from a magazine ad.




Wheelbarrow race!!




Girls dominate. Every time.




Brother Charles & Sister Hazel stroll down the road together. I love this picture!




BullyBall! It was very intense! And very dusty!




Elyowenay...looking very Irish in his green attire and holding gold pieces. Aye.


Table, you beat me to it. So, those are some of my favorite pics.

Words can't fully describe how much fun HH was, among other things. I was revived spiritually, physically, & mentally. I can still hear the music we sang in my head. I have to be very careful at work to keep my humming to a minimum. :-) Hope you are having a blessed week.

Ok, So I have no clue what this blog is going to look like or whether there is any order to these pictures but I wanted to get some up so that you could all see how much fun we had at Harmony Highlands 2006! There are definitely more but this will start us off. I'll explain a few for some. We had an EXTREME volleyball tournament this year that lasted all week. I can' t remember if Cary Anne or Brett's team won but it was intense let me tell ya. I also included some pictures of the games. (I don't know why there is dirt all over Brett's face, one would think camoflauge since we were playing in the woods but his bright blue shirt throws that idea, so maybe intimidation ?) And then of course there was Ranger Owens, a camp favorite I think. So enjoy some pictures, there are more to come.
