Kadesh

This past week, I was blessed to attend Kadesh camp at Abilene Christian University. This is a camp I had the privelege of going to last year, and it's a great camp. The theme this year was "Grace", and it was encouraging and freeing! I was placed in a group mixed with people from Baytown, Houston, Coppell, Denton, Abilene, Maypearl, Northwest Mississippi (Memphis, TN area), Boulder, CO and Boston, MA. Our group got close. Our leaders were from Amarillo, but they had both attended Harding University. One of the leaders was a youth minister at the Southwest Church of Christ in Amarillo, and the other girl was his girlfriend. One day, I was walking down the stairs from our room, and there was Laura! I went up to her and gave her big hug. She then walked with me to the Student Center and gave me her contact information. So later that day, I got permission from my hall counselor to go visit her during free time. While I was there, Dan walked in, so it was really neat to get to see them while I was out there. So far, out of the two Kadeshes that I've been to, this one has been my favorite topic. Once your kids get to high school age, send them to Kadesh, because it's a great camp!
