Chris sent me off on Saturday morning to get some much needed “Kate” time. My plan was to go to a consignment shop which was selling all summer stuff for $1.00 and then to head to Greenberry’s for coffee and then to Beth’s “friend Party” to paint finger nails for 5, 5 year olds! In the process of doing all of that I got a phone call from David inviting us all to Young Life’s Rockbridge for a family camp in which he was speaking that night. The ramsey’s and mama had already decided to go. I really wanted to go. i hadn’t seen Dave and Melissa since June and I had never heard Dave speak before. However I had already been gone the whole morning. I called Chris and because he is so AMAZING, he said, of course …go. So I left at 9:00 in the morning adn didn’t come home until 11:00 pm. It was a great day for me and I had so much fun with my family.

Dave is an excellent speaker and shared his take on the Prodigal son parable. I left that evening overwhelmed by how taken God is with me and extremely proud of my brother! I can’t wait to get up to blacksburg to spend more time with Dave and Melissa in their new home!
