June 24 - “Kids’ Camp: The Journey”

For those of you who don’t know, I am an aspiring poet and song writer.  I sometimes borrow the tune ... well, I always borrow the tune ... the same tune.  So here’s the saga of Kids’ Camp 2019.  It will continue, internet capabilities or not.  You may have to wait a week to see its conclusion.

I’m an acorn, small and round
Lying on the cold, hard ground
Everyone walks over me
That is why I’m cracked, you see?
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Called myself on the telephone,
Just to see if I was home
Asked me out for a little date
Picked me up about half past eight
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Took myself to the movie show
Stayed too late and said, “Let’s go”
Grabbed my hand and led me out
Walked me home and gave a shout
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Met up at the church at two
Stuffed that car with stuff, woohoo
Mister Bob for us he prayed
Moms and Dads to us did wave
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Down the road a minute or so
To Dollar General we did go
Just for ice, but these gals, oh
Wanted snacks already ... No!
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Oh, no! Crisis! What to do?
Cailyn’s mouthpiece, gone - who knew?
Twists and turns and upside down
Her retainer can’t be found
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Stopped to search near exit ten
Kids piled out to look again
There it is, I see it now
Moved the seat, it’s rescued ... wow
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

While the rescue took its time
I saw Lex’s UGA fine
Emmy’s candy fell to ground
Lex gave up her own, that’s sound
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

This was all scant miles from home
NOW we’re trav’ling - on the roam
Buc-ees was our next road stop
Out in front for photo op
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Lex and Lex were road game champs
“Are we there yet at the camp?”
One more crisis, oh so close
Potty break, “We gotta goes!”
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Now we fin’lly have arrived
Well, at Waco, with our five
Pastor Josh and his fam’ly
Hosted us with pizza, whee!
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

AnnaaGrace was happy, wow
For she had five sisters now
Fam’ly worship with their clan
Then to bed, sleep if you can
I’m a nut.  I’m a nut.  I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut.

Genesis 15:6 says, “Abram believed the Lord and he credited it to him as righteousness.”

Father, thank you for riding with us o n this first leg of what has already started out as quite the adventure.  Please ... stick around.  Amen.
