Family Camp ~ Stormy Calm Week

This is a link to the Star Beacon article on the storm we experienced while at family camp.

My wife and I climbed through trees in the rain, and standing water with downed power lines to reach our girls. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I remember that God was with me. Not knowing if I would see my children, I thought I lost my wife. It was an adrenaline rush. As my wife and I climbed through the trees, I wondered a lot of things. As I looked at my van later that night with a tree on it, I wondered more about life, and why we had come to this place at this time. But through it all God was with me. God was with all of us.

It brings a whole new meaning for me to Philippians 4:11-13: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
