 from our family to yours  12/12/05

We hope you have a special Christmas season this year!! Keep the creator, the Star of Christmas, at its center.

Remember to spend time in worship ... worship is a time commitment, it is not something you can do on the run!!

This year Christmas is on a Sunday; it should be all the easier to spend time remembering and worshipping our Savior.

Our fam was all here for Thanksgiving (when we took this pic).... that's one of the joys of our work here, family. The kids have been a part of our work through the years . . .

And hey, it's a youth camp -- you can't be bored for too long as a teen living at a youth camp!! The kids learned with us. We explored the mountains and lakes and creeks together . . . we picked up rock climbing and rafting skills, and studied the biology around us . . . the great outdoor classroom!!

It's a great playground for families . . . and not just ours. Lots of families enjoy CLW and the surrounding nature show, as a family. They come to summer camp, they come to family reunions, weddings, winter retreats.

During a week of camp, the moms and dads help out with the kitchen or program, the kids jump into the activities, and then the whole fam gets together at various times for outings and little adventures.

We're looking forward to more adventures . . . this time around, with the grandkids!!
