Laura left for the Wilds yesterday. The youth from Anchor Baptist will spend a week in the mountains of North Carolina enjoying a week of games, fellowship, fun, and amazing Bible messages. Sitting in the fellowship all, getting their van assignments. Laura choosing which lunch she would like. Usually, she chooses turkey. Saying last goodbyes before getting into the van for the long ride. The Vans. One last wave to Miranda ... Read More

  My two are back from the Wilds Camp, and from what I can tell, they had a GREAT time! (Miquel picked up a southern accent, too!) As you can see, one casualty, Ross dislocated his knee.   ... Read More

  Each year my children look forward to their big summer event and go with our church youth group to the Wilds Camp in North Carolina. This year the excitement was a little different as Laura wasn't sure she wasn't going to be able to go until the last minute. (Her dense mother put the registration a little late and hence she was on the waiting list). The Lord heard our prayers and late Friday the call came that she was off ... Read More

My children have returned from their week at The Wilds, and I feel the need to re-thank everyone who helped make it possible. This is a scan of one of the post cards the children got me. This is one of the most liked spots at the Wilds, Fourth Falls. The Wilds is a 1000 acre camp, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Most campers take the opportunity to hike (and I am told its not an easy hike), ... Read More

The pastor this morning quoted from the Gospel of Mark: "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed." He went on to say that too often we get caught up in the things of the world and often the Lord invites us to retreat. Christ knows the importance of getting away, to a worthy place, to do 'business' with God. That is the Wilds for our youth at Anchor Baptist.   He ... Read More

Just another update to the gifts being sent in to help my children get to camp! The total of donations is now at $220.00 $240.00 I feel so humbled and blessed, I just can't explain it. My children and I are so stunned and pleased with the generosity of others! Thank you! By the way, they held their fund-raiser with the church this Saturday, here are the photos of the CAR WASH! ... Read More

As my children are participating in the fund raiser to go to camp, I thought I should update on my blog written last Monday, asking for help to send my children to camp. Even though they need $270 each, I am just so overwhelmed at the $170 in donations via that request that have come in so far! Thanks to everyone who extended themselves for my two children, (and me). What a loving, thoughtful thing to do. From the bottom of my heart. Barb musical alacranes ringtoneringtones america nokia ... Read More

Our household is slowly coming down from Wild's Fever. I am not sure that is a good thing. Many of you already know that my children, right after the wedding, went to camp. They went to "The Wilds", as it is called, this magical and wonderful campground nestled in the mountains of Brevard, North Carolina, ( The Wilds Website) which seems to transform entire lives of the willing. The only thing I know about the Wilds is that it puts the biggest ... Read More
