On Display

"And My life is on display in them." John 17

The Clown Station was ready - all in place. I knew from experience it wouldn't stay that way long. As soon as the training, commissioning and lunch was over - the mayhem began; teenagers laughing, goofing off, trying on hats, wigs, and all manner of clothes to bring a smile to the families arriving.

Camp is best described by the laughter, by the smiles, and by the joy in the kids when they arrive to a "circus" of joy and enthusiasm. the newcomers were surprised, the returnees were eager, and then there were summed up as one tiny girl named Emily chased Care EE around and around the clown station- with wings on her wheelchair, trying to wipe a goo on my hand. She laughed so hard, ran over everybody in between, tireless in her pursuit of fun.

Something so simple and so simply redemptive of the mishaps, the mistakes, the misappropriations, the misinterpretation. this is what Camp is about, what He is about. I must remember to be about His business!
