jesus loves the crooked liners.
the summer of 2000, i had a cabin of girls that could not for the life of them stand in a straight line. they were tenderfooters (1st & 2nd graders) and at that time, shamineau held their tenderfoot camps over at solid rock bible camp because it was a smaller camp. solid rock had this routine before every meal that had the cabins stand in a straight line to get called in for dinner. if your line wasn't straight, you wouldn't get called (unless, of course you were the last cabin). it took two meals for us to decide on our cabin name. the crooked liners. because we couldn't, just couldn't stand in a straight line. we would purposely stand in the crookedest line we could. and we sang our song.jesus loves the crooked liners. all the liners of the world. red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. jesus loves the crooked liners of the world.
and we recited our cabin verse (romans 12:2a).
do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
we learned to love our crookedness. sometimes, we need to.
some words of incredible genius from the crooked liners:
*white isn't a color. it's a primary color, i think. (liz)
*my grandma is 90. um, why she's 90 is because one time, she fell out of bed & now her back hurts a lot. (maggie)
*um, a boy called me weird today. well, did you laugh at him? no. well, actually it was halee. (maggie & myself)
*does anyone know where south america is? BRAZIL!
i loved that i could just play with these girls. to imagine and laugh. by far, my favorite age for campers. all we did was play, eat and talk about jesus. what more does one even need?
