One of my family's favorite places to go in the whole big wide world is Pine Cove Camp. My hubby has taken my daughter to Father/Daughter camp since she was in the first grade, and my son started going with him to Father/Son camp when he was in Kindergarten. As a family we have attended Family Camp for eight years and our summer wouldn't be complete with an infusion of Pine Cove! It is an amazing place, with amazing people.

My toddler son was finishing up breakfast and I was gathering up the "stuff" I needed for the opening day of Women's Bible Study at my church. The phone rang and my mom asked in a shaky voice, "Do you have the television on?" I didn't, I usually don't. As I walked toward the remote control lying on my green suede couch the next words I heard her say sort of lingered … [Read more...]
