A good lesson as to how some earn their way into Heaven at a much younger age than the rest of us.

I saw that they are raising money to rebuild the camp and also to put in a storm shelter at the camp, if anyone is interested in donating. Prayers for these families. One of the boys lived within a couple miles of me.

Weeping as I read this, thanks for posting it.

I just put my youngest (first class) in a van to go rafting with his troop about an hour ago. He'll be doing his Scoutmaster conference and board of review on the trip. He was just confirmed a month ago, and he'll be turning fourteen next Thursday.

He was my "miracle" also, and I considered naming him Samuel which as you know, means "I have asked him of the Lord."

Try as best you can to hear the St. Olaf Choir rendition of "Here I am Lord." Warning though, it makes me cry even if I'm NOT sad, but it's one of the most beautiful things ever recorded.

I must also recommend "When God Doesn't Make Sense" by Dr. James Dobson. I always try to have a copy in the house, but I end up lending it out and not getting it back, which is okay, because the wisdom is SO profound.

Thanks agan for posting this. You and the families of the fallen Scouts are in my prayers.

God be with you all.

Thank-you....

..although young physically, I think Sam was seasoned with the Lord ....all is well with this young man.

My heart hurts for the families of these boys. It is hard to read and look at their sweet smiling face without tears.

Wow.

I have been so proud of the response of those scouts who rendered aid.

Now I’m proud of one who wasn’t around to do so.

Just Wow.
