Kids Camp

This morning a bunch of excited kids boarded the buss for summer kids camp. I'm not sure who was happier, the kids going to camp or their parents waving goodbye. Too funny.
Summer camp is a great opportunity to meet new friends, have lots of fun and hear from the Lord. In fact, the Lord called me into ministry when I was only 8 years old while attending camp at Cherry Tree Lane. I'll never forget sitting towards the back of that open air tabernacle on the wooden benches and responding to the preaches invitation to the altar call for those that wanted to dedicated the rest of their lives to full time ministry service. I almost ran to the altar that night was prayed for and also received the infilling of the Holy Spirit. What a memory! What a night!
Statistics show that most of those in full time ministry today, especially missionaries, received the call to ministry prior to the age of eleven. Think about that. That's pretty amazing.
As a parent, I need to recognize the sensitivity that my children have for the Lord and intentionally create opportunities for them to develop their faith - like sending them to camp.

It's A Boy!

Today we found out that we are having another BOY! How cool is that ... I never thought in a million years that we would have 4 kids - let alone 3 sons. Crazy! 

We are all very excited. My daughter, Kate, was a tad disappointed initially, but once the news sunk in that she was Daddy's ONLY girl, the future got just a little brighter.

Bekah is feeling well and totally ecstatic about the news. We feel so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity of a lifetime to parent such precious little ones. Our only desire is to love them unconditionally and to teach them to love God, each other, and those that are far from God.

Here's to another little Crosby boy!
