"CAMP NATIVE AMERICA"



Camp Native America - June 23 to 26, 2008

Yesterday, June 23rd was the beginning of Camp Native America, held by Summit Training Post, St Michaels, Arizona. I camped outside in my little one person tent.

I took the day off to be a part of the camp start up and help in any way I could. So, with that in mind, the team from New Jersey asked me to do two hours of crafts plus the hour before the evening service. That was only for Monday.

The rest of the week I'm to do an activity just prior to the evening service. Tonight, I'll be using a Bible game, questions and answers. Two people are placed back to back on a newspaper and set at the edge. As they answer the questions they move closer to the person behind and then try to push the other off the newspaper. It's called Newspaper SUMO, like the wrestling term.

Hopefully, I'll get more pictures taken and put it in a slide show by the end of the week. Daniel has been busy working nights so I get home about a half hour before him. Last night it was around 11:00 PM.

    Pretty where you camped! Red Rocks like where I live!

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s...

The war had begun and it was given the operation name “Desert Storm”. My son Steven was in the marines and already had traveled to the Philippines, Germany and then he was sent to Saudi Arabia where he and several other marines would push through to Kuwait. His responsibility was to defuse land mines placed in the desert floor by the enemy. My husband Richard and I and children all nestled snug in our beds in Mesa, Arizona while all of this was going on. We fervently prayed each night for his and his fellow soldiers safety and protection. I believed in my heart that he would return but it was very difficult to think of him in harms way. He is my eldest son and I spent years preparing him for his future as a leader. Many months passed with no word from him. Steven was stationed there from August to the month of March the following hear. During Christmas I put up a special tree, a small pine with lights which would be called “Steven’s tree”. Since he was not there we were to remember him...
