TOOT!

I'm usually not one to 'toot' my own horn ;o)

but today...I think I'm gonna!

My dryer has been making a loud,

extremely high pitched, screeching noise..

..It was so loud that it could be heard

from the mailbox!

Call me stubborn...but I wasn't about to call a

repair man like I did when the washer was messing

up...just to have him work on it for 5 minutes and

then charge me $125 bucks to do something

I could have done myself...well, atleast

not without giving it a good try!

Well~to make a long, boring story short ;o) I

googled it, found the piece and fixed it!

BUT...I didn't realize that the part that needed

fixing was in the very back of the dryer and I

would have to take the entire dryer apart~I

mean the whole dadgum thing!...who

designs these things??

This is how I remember how things go back

together...I snap a quick picture to remind me 

(I would have never remembered how to put

it back together if I hadn't)

AND can you believe that horrible noise that was

coming from the dryer was from a tiny metal

ball smaller than a green pea!

And it only cost me $14 to fix it!

So~TOOT TOOT!

My hubby better appreciate it!

~Camp Bethel~

We survived church camp! 

That first night, as I was trying to sleep...a thought crossed

my mind....Do I even like church camp?!

The homemade wooden, squeaky bunkbeds with the foam
mattresses---not to mention the plastic liners...~just incase
I wet the bed (*wink)

It's hard enough to get any sleep as it is...but then my mind
wonders...what if the person above me wets the bed...is it
going to run down the sides and drip into my bed? Onto me...
while I'm asleep?!? How early do I have to get up to get a
hot or even luke warm shower? Why are these people in the
bunk next to me up at 3 a.m. playing cards?! Why is Mindy
this lady in the bunk next to me snoring?!~lol Would the
man selling earplugs in the men's dorn 'just happen' to be
outside right now??

But--by the end of the week I was reminded why I go to
church camp...and why I'm already looking forrward to next
year!

I guess-It's sortof a LOVE/HATE relationship---

I love the worship services in the tabernacle! A few nights, the
presence of God was so thick you could barely breathe! Words 
could never describe it...

I love to see the youth praise God and not care who
is watching!

I love to see folks run the aisles and praise God!

I love the 'old time' camp meeting feeling.

I love the atmosphere.

It's awesome how God blesses! Especially inspite of us!

So...I guess I really do love church camp...(most of it anyway)  ;o)

If your church is looking for a good Independent Baptist, King
James only church camp to go to...look-up Arbanna Baptist
Church in Mountain View Arkansas-

We had 3 saved from our youth group~Praise God for that!

Well~Just wanted to share a few dozen pictures with ya!

Enjoy!

I took about 350pictures during the week...aren't you glad I

didn't share them all? ;o)

Go HERE to see pictures from last year's church camp!
