Unhappy Campers (7 of 8)
Series: God's Message in Your Emotions

Philippians 4:10
It was in 1998, Spring Break 1998. I wanted to take my family on a big Spring Break trip. We were going to go to Colorado to the snow. We have never really been to the snow. And we weren't ski people, but we wanted to go there and experience the snow and sled and have fun. And the kids were 10, 8, and 6. And this trip for a guy that was in the ministry, it was expensive, because it was air fare, and rent a car, and rent a condo for a week, and all those things.

And so we got in the car and we started looking. And I got lost. And then I had t o turn around. And when I turned around in this cul-de-sac, I got stuck in the snow. I couldn't get out. I was thinking, Man, this really stinks. And Debbie could tell I was a little tense. And Debbie has a nervous laugh. And so, when Debbie gets nervous, she begins to laugh. And here I'm stuck in this snow and I have a wife that's "hee-hee-hee." It was misery. You talk about being an unhappy camper. I was just thinking in m ...
