As I finish 2010 and reflect on all that God has done, I can’t help but remember the children of Camden who have changed my life so very much. Over the next week, I will be issuing a series of audio podcasts of my reflections from Camden. Download the mp3s, load them onto your iPod and listen to them on your car trips to and from visiting family for Christmas!
