Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds; For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herds of the mountains are gathered in, The lambs will provide your clothing, And the goats the price of a field; You shall have enough goat's milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants. Prov. 27:23-27

Tamerack!!!

I've been home since Sat. night but now I finally got a chance to sit down and blog about it.

Well, it was an awsome week! My favorite things about it were the seminars, singing, and meeting new people! Our speakers were Dr. Pipa, Rev Bylsma, and Rev. Anema. I learned something new and was encouraged alot by each seminar, later I'll try to re-write my notes so you can read them here in paragraph/article style. Eventually the seminars will be availible on
www.ypfriends/tamerack.com Singing is amazing with ~ 160 people whose voices are all so young and strong, full of love for their Lord... We would sing after supper, before and after seminars usually, and around the campfire - cozy! After supper was really nice b/c we were then accompanied by Amy or Louise on the piano, Steve and Andrew on guiters, Maria on the violin, Brian on the cello and Stanley on the bass! Other great memories include sitting on the rocks for devotions, taking pictures of the lake, and people :), walking from place to place - trying to get there on time :), kayaking with Rachael on Thu. afternoon - getting out of the kayak resulted in a bit of a dissaster but thankfully my camera survived! Also, some crazy skits on tallent night, the Anema family's recitation of a chapter from Chronicles (very sweet and cute), singing along with Rachael's playing for "As the deer" on Talent night ( yes, I was a little nervous!) wide games and opening games, sports,reading the cereal fillers at breakfast before most of them got made into paper air planes, sun tanning on the docks...
Anyway, time for some pics!



Campers and vissitors, watching the baseball game. Notice the fall color in the back ground, early this year, but I'm not complaining!








A random shot of the dining hall.
