Cousin Camp has begun. It started with a trip to Navasota. We met Josh halfway to Waco so we could pick
up Zak and Caleb. Our rendezvous point
was Mallett Brothers Barbeque, near the home of the state-famous Navasota High
School Rattlers. Pretty good barbeque,
too. Try it next time you find yourself
hungry in Navasota.
On the way home we learned all about
dealing with girls from listening in on the brotherly conversations in the back
seat. To boil it all down, “Girls are
weird.” No argument there. Caleb commented, “Up to about fourth grade
they are fine. But after fourth grade
they are always in crowds.” Yep. Even going to the bathroom. But the wise elder brother had something to
say about that: “You have to learn to be courageous and enter into those
crowds.” Caleb also lamented, “Why is my
voice high and squeaky only when I’m around girls? And why does my body language change without
me even knowing it? I thought I was just
being normal.” Well, Caleb … you are
just being normal.
It took an hour or two after we arrived in
Galveston for the rest of the cousins to make their appearances. Cailyn was running errands with her
parents. The LaMarque cousins spent the
day at the beach. They were all here in
time for pizza, though. That’s the
official kick-off meal for Cousin Camp. So
video game time came next, followed by root beer floats and bedtime movie time. By ten thirty or so, lights were out. Who knows when they actually went to sleep …
Joshua 1:9 says, “Have I not commanded you? Be
strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Father, here we go with another cousin
camp. Watch over this precious
cargo. Amen.
