OFF TO CHURCH CAMP

I don't know how many years my youngest grandson has been going to church camp in southeastern Kansas, but for a long time. I'm not even sure where the camp is, but I think maybe it's out in the tallgrass prairie someplace. He was a little tyke the first time he was determined to go and he didn't know another soul who was going. That never matters to Tyler. He makes friends quickly. He just loves it there.

So today, his mom once again took him to Wichita where he boarded a church bus with other campers from the Wichita area. We won't hear a thing from him until he gets off the bus in Wichita next Saturday. I've tried giving him a phone card so he can call me, but he's much too busy for that.

It will be the same when he goes to college. We'll say goodbye when he leaves in August and won't hear from him again until he comes home during a break. What a kid. He has a very full agenda. He loves life.
