I have to admit I had mixed emotions when I was asked to help with this event. It had been years since I had done anything with the folks at Paden City. As I walked on to the Wetzel County 4-H campgrounds I was over taken by feelings of nostalgia. I was a camper here when my home church hosted the week long event known as Victory Christian Service Camp. The memories were awesome as I walked up the path to the cabin. I was thankful that I had the opportunity to introduce a whole new generation including my two youngest kids to something that had made a tremendous impact on my life. On Saturday, the Lord moved in an unbelievable way as thirteen kids came forward to accept Christ and be baptized. As we walked to the creek it hit me, this was where it all changed for me thirty-two years earlier. I walked this same path to the creek after I had accepted Jesus Christ and was baptized in these same muddy waters. Each of these kids like me started a new journey at this camp. Although the excitement will dull some and mistakes and poor decisions will happen, God's grace will always abound. If we will only allow His hand to remain on our lives He will guide us and help us rise above the mistakes we will make.
