There they went...... 
I waved goodbye to a busload of Godchildren, as they departed for Camp Longhorn yesterday. It was interesting to watch the difference in the way each of them approached it.

Susan Glover said it best, "Now I cry. Not because they are gone and about to have the time of their life, but because of those precious faces, yet, awkward smiles. Young enough to love us, but getting older and trying so hard not to need us."

My prayer for them is this...."Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them;
for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you.
for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you.
He will not leave you nor forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6
