My kids go to a Christian camp during the summer. They have both thrived there and seem to genuinely enjoy the time they spend there, as well as the friends they have made. This camp has a neat program that allows the older kids a path to becoming camp counselors. There is a ladder process in place where for the first 2 years, the kids are considered “disciples”, which means they serve as Junior Counselors. In order to become a disciple, the kids have to submit and application and go through an interview process. This place means business! Connor decided he wanted to be a disciple, so he filled out the application and scheduled his interview. The really cool thing was the parents could not request the application packet or set up the interview – Connor had to do all that himself.
Before his interview, I was wondering aloud what kinds of questions they would ask. I asked if he thought they’d make him quote any Bible verses – I was concerned that he didn’t know any. I should have never worried; he immediately let me know he already had a favorite quote. Want to know what it is?
“As King Jehovah once said, ‘Jesus, bring me my ass!’”
Now I don’t know if that’s an actual verse or not. Something tells me it isn’t – or it’s paraphrased completely wrong, but it sure cracked me the hell up! Thankfully, he had the good sense to keep that little gem to himself when he went on the interview, since he was hired and will be a disciple this summer!
