I’m finally catching up on sharing with you some great things that have been happening around Camp Nathanael in recent days. As a follow up to yesterday’s entry I want to share another tremendous example of God’s perfect timing.

The decision was made in the early spring to “upgrade” our flag pole as the Lord provided memorial gifts for that purpose. Our present flag pole is a home made version ingeniously designed with a hinged base to allow for easy rope replacement. It has been in service for over forty years, maybe longer. But it was time to make a change.

We ordered three new poles; one 30′ tall with two at 25′ in height. But we weren’t exactly sure how we were going to get them installed, especially with summer camp preparations occupying everyone’s time. Well, the Lord knew exactly how He was going to get it done.

That’s where Brian Cornett, owner of Brian’s Heating and Cooling, comes into the picture. (He was the contractor I mentioned in yesterday’s blog.) Brian brought his entire crew, through our contact at Pepsi Co, to donate two days of labor at camp. As we discussed various projects, I mentioned we had these flag poles to install and asked if his men would be willing to move the horseshoe pits to allow their installation. He replied by saying his guys could also install the poles as he had installed large flag poles in the past. Needless to say, we gave the go ahead and now that project is behind us and ready for a special dedication time during our Family Week in July.

So a big word of “Thanks ” goes out to Brian and his men. Most of all we praise God for His care about even a flag pole project.
