Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Catholic Heart Work Camp

The two oldest attended a week-long camp with our church's youth group, along with many other youth groups from across the nation. This year they traveled to Nashville, Tennessee. Each day began with Mass and a morning program; then they were sent off with a designated team to put themselves aside and serve the surrounding community. 

Our son assisted elderly nuns in Nashville. He cleaned, washed cars, and warmed their hearts with his smile :)

Our oldest daughter and her team tore down a deck that was rotting and had major foundation problems, rebuilt it with all new materials, and even added a few extra items with leftover supplies.





At the end of the week, our youth group explored the famous music city. They ate at The Wildhorse Saloon, toured the Opryland Hotel, and enjoyed the plentiful live music.
