A Brush With Death
February 12, 2010
As I lay in bed, I instinctively, lovingly, rested my hand on my pregnant belly. Little did I know as I felt the kicking of my unborn baby that in just a few short minutes my life would be changed forever.
The time was getting nearer for our baby to be born. I had been having contractions all day. I figured our baby would be born that night or the next day when I went to my scheduled appointment. Read more
The Gift of Age
September 29, 2009
Yesterday was my 45th birthday. Gosh, I remember when people who were 45 were “old people” to me. I’m being quite reflective today. Maybe it’s because I’m exhausted. (5 hours of sleep last night) I’m thinking I should tell you it was because I partied like a youngster, but that wasn’t it. I simply stayed up. Read more
Creative Way to Give Money as a Gift
September 3, 2009
As my kids have gotten older, they would rather I give them money instead of gifts for their birthday. I am not thrilled with the idea of just giving an envelope with cash —BO-RING!
For Briana’s 15th birthday this is what I did — She likes to watch the game show, Deal or No Deal, so I decided to recreate the game to give her money for her birthday. Read more
A Day in Queen Terri’s Court
August 15, 2009
Reprint from 2001
People are often asking me what a typical day in the life of the Camp family is like. My response is always the same…define typical. They then produce some definition like…Okay if everything were running smoothly what would your day look like.

The Plans I Have For You
June 28, 2009
She came to me – with that look on her face. I had known her for 21 years. I knew her looks. She was nervous, scared, and needed “to talk.” A list of possibilities ran through my mind. I suggested we go for a drive. There is something safe about driving around in the car talking. No interruptions. No distractions. Just she and I together in the car. We sat in the car for a moment. I turned to look at her. A tear fell down her cheek. The look in her eyes was that of fear, excitement, nervousness, and disappointment. I don’t remember the exact words we exchanged that night. But I know I had to pull the words out of her. I reassured her that nothing is insurmountable. Read more
Step Back – And Watch Your Teens Fly
March 20, 2009
With my whole being I believe in the abilities of my adult or nearly adult children to make wise choices for their lives. It is for this reason, I refrain from giving unsolicited advice. I am particularly careful when it comes to those monumental decisions. Read more
Do I Have an Inflated Ego?
March 16, 2009
You’re going to want to check out Today’s Moms post on Today’s Tweetin’ Moms.
On Saturday, @todaysmoms had a Mom tips fest. They requested Moms submit their tips with a hashtag #todaysmom. (If you don’t know about twitter or hashtags, you simply must join!) At first I resisted posting any tips. My reason for resisting was my ego. Yes, I have one – and it swells at times. Especially when I’m feeling all smart, which sometimes happens when I’m talking about being a mom and some of the tips I’ve learned over the years. After reading several of the tips, I could no longer resist typing in my own tip. Read more
Nick and Cathy – Wedding March 7, 2009
March 16, 2009
The wedding was beautiful!
Initially we had planned on a wedding in the park. The weather was supposed to be perfect in Texas – mid 70’s. Then the forecast was for windy conditions with a 40% chance of rain. A last minute scramble found us reserving The Corner Wedding Chapel It was beautifully decorated. The ceremony took place outside beneath and arbor and in front of a waterfall. Very cool. Now if we could have just notified the guy using his weed eater to not eat his weeds during the ceremony, it would have been perfect! Read more

Getting to the Bottom of Sin
March 2, 2009
Originally written for my site in 2004.
Sometimes things in life don’t always go the way we would plan them. However, I have chosen to try to make the best of any situation, by seeking out the Lord to discover if there is perhaps a lesson the Lord is trying to teach me.
Recently I had taken a trip on an airplane for a speaking engagement. One of the things I use in my talk is a Supermom apron with lots of pockets, which I fill with different items that aid my talk. I have items like a plastic frog, a picture of my last baby at his birth, bubble bath, a squirt gun, a diaper, and liquid laundry soap. Read more
