We are back in one of my happy places…Pine Lake Camp.  And tonight it is quite quiet as this is the night before camp starts.  The entire camping season is now coming to life and though we are not enjoying the warm weather that other parts of the country are, we are still getting going.

The intention of our camping program is to separate people from their daily routines, give them time to reflect on the beauty of God’s creation and of course show people that God created them and desires deeply to demonstrate His love and mercy.

Yesterday was the 4th of July and thus a great celebration south of the 49th parallel…but when it comes to nationhood there is another group anxious to celebrate their independance – or is there?  In this article from the National Post the Governor General’s husband says the independence movement in Quebec is dead!  Let’s hope so.  We want to protect Canada from those who would destroy her.

So whether it is Pine Lake…or the entire nation of Canada do you have a place that is important to you?
