Today while talking to my buddy C, I knew what my new blog would be about. She was telling me about this great new camp she attended with a child she mentors. It was a Christian camp and it was amazing. There were many things she loved about the camp, but her favorite thing was their motto: I am number THREE! What that means is they put God first, then others, then themselves. So they are … [Read more...] about Tug -O- War: Me or Thee?!

The dilemma was … [Read more...] about Letting Go of Control
