Super Heroes


Girls Camp is coming up soon. I'm helping out as the High Adventure leader. I love Girls Camp and camping in general. I enjoy roughing it in the great outdoors because it helps remind me how good I have it the rest of the time. I also really appreciate the beautiful world that God created and camping gives me a wonderful opportunity to do so up close and personal.
The theme for camp this year is Super Heroes. Each of the leaders has to come up with a superhero identity. Wonder Woman was my first thought- she was my favorite super hero while growing up. I loved her invisible plane and lasso of truth! It was taken already, so I had to keep looking. I think I'm going to go with the Pink Panther. I like it for a few reasons: 1. Pink is my signature color. 2. I like to run- panthers are symbols of quick runners. 3. The Pink Panther is humorous and I love to laugh. 4. The Pink Panther is stylish & adventurous and so am I, if I do say so myself.
I went out hiking last week with a group of the camp leaders at the park where we will have camp this year to get to know the lay of the land. It was so nice to get together with these ladies and talk while we walked over rocks and roots. These ladies ARE superheroes to me. They are great examples of righteous women who let their light shine and serve the Lord without complaint. I can't wait for camp- it promises lots of fun for the Pink Panther and her cohorts.

Race for the Cure



This is my second time running in the Komen Race for the Cure for breast cancer research. My friend Emily and I joined thousands of other runners at Meredith College in Raleigh. It was a beautiful but hot and humid morning. We had a great time and loved all the goodies for runners afterwards! We decided to do it again next year. Want to join us? Let me know- the more the merrier!
