"We must put faith and love into action...

"...to make them real, to make them come alive for people."
-Millard Fuller in The Theology of the Hammer

Last night the kids from Walt Whitman Camp gave us burritos with SUN-DRIED TOMATOES!!!  Yum.  Maiya also made us some cheesecake and got trail saint status.  The camp staff were Amanda and Maiya; the kids were Annie, Becca, Lee, Sam, Dan.

I learned a camp song from them:

"If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning,
I'd hammer in the evening,
I'd hammer all over this land,
L-A-N-D,
I'd hammer out danger,
I'd hammer out warning,
I'd hammer out love for my brothers & sisters,
[Repeat with "bell" and "song" instead of "hammer"]
Well, I've got a hammer, 
It's name is justice.
And I've got a bell,
It's name is freedom."

I didn't quite get the whole ending down, but you can see the full lyrics here.
