It was my very first kiss. Summer youth camp at Mount Zion Park in Odessa, Missouri. One week each summer was like going to heaven, only without the angels and harps. I loved it. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, archery, and evening campfires. Oh, I almost forgot about the girls who were there. That’s what made campfire extra special. Sitting on a blanket with a cute girl and listening to the crackling fire while singing Kumbaya. Then at the end of the campfire time, while everyone was sitting quietly looking at the fire, kids got to tell about the day and what made it so special. Sometimes there were tears of joy and laughter. It was just great!
