I had never heard the words before.
Of course, being a part of Royal Family Kids’ Camps has expanded my education in many ways, but this was a new one.
Jeremy was so severely beaten by his father that he just quit speaking. He just had enough. Sometimes children will quit speaking to adults or just new people, but Jeremy would not speak to anyone.
When he arrived at camp he wore a baseball cap, but he wore it so low that no one could see his eyes. On Wednesday the campers were involved in playing kickball. It took a long time to convince Jeremy to even try it, but after persistent coaxing his counselor was able to get Jeremy to take a turn at the plate.
The director’s heart stopped when he missed his first kick. She thought he would quit on the spot.
She prayed as the second ball came rollin’ in, “God, help him kick that ball!” BAM! Jeremy connected with the ball and started running towards first base.
The entire camp cheered wildly. Then he rounded second base; and then third base. On Jeremy’s run toward home plate he decided to go all out and slide into home.
