Like a lot of other churches ours has an annual camp. We call ours "Family Camp". It is a wonderfully inexpensive way to get away with family and friends. But for me it was not always that way.
This will be my very first Family Camp without anger. This time I am only taking what's on the list. So you won't see me with my U Haul full of bitterness. I'm packing light! I am really looking forward to it. I used to spend so darn much time being mad at folks. And not just one at a time! No way! I multi-tasked. I'd juggle my resentments between a couple or more fellows at a time. I was good at it. Then, after my Heavenly Father touched me in April of 1012, I found that I was free from the smoldering resentments and anger that I nursed with a dedication and commitment that would shame the best Amway Rep. (If I sold Amway with the same dedication I'd be a millionaire.) I told someone that this new relationship with God was like being on vacation from myself and that's still true. Sometimes, most of the time, I feel so good that I think I must be cheating!
It is so wonderful to be going to camp with so many lovely folks all in one place. It will be a real special time for me, for us all, and I hope that we all come back having become more like our Messiah Jesus!
