About this ebook
In this book, you'll find:
Fifteen devotions for families having fun on summer vacation. Included topics are: packing, driving, car games, maps, rest stops, sand, water, buckets of treasure, sunscreen, sunglasses, tent camping, campfires, flashlight tag, s'mores, and the summer night sky. Scriptures, devotional reflections, and prayers intertwine with these fun topics for sweet devotional time.
Taste the sweetness of God's Word that's even sweeter than s'mores cooked over a campfire.
All of my author proceeds (the earnings I make from each sale) will be donated to Peace Rehabilitation Center in Nepal to fight human trafficking.

Summer Vacation Devotions is dedicated to the Lord – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Brief Introduction
In the spring of 2009, my Pastor and our church worship director were looking for a book of summer devotions to give to families of our church – something they could take with them on their summer vacations. They asked me to help in that search.
After a few days of finding nothing, I started writing my own. I sent the first one and several other ideas for others to my Pastor and the worship director. They encouraged me to write the rest.
So, I did. They edited my work, we ran it off the church printers, and it was given out to the congregation. I was amazed that people liked it, even wanting copies to give to their family members who lived out of town.
Six years passed, and my mom asked me if I would re-publish them. I had planned on it a few years ago, but things came together this year (2015) and I re-edited and re-formatted this project in a few weeks.
So, here it is, a project that started at the behest of my Pastor at the time, Pastor Paul Schroeder, and my worship director, Annette Plymale. Without their encouragement, I would have never finished the first version. Without my mom, Kathleen Gillespie, I would have never finished this re-print.
Whatever is good in these devotions, it is a gift from God, or a benefit of the editing and encouragement of others. Whatever is messy is mine.
I hope you enjoy these devotions and find them encouraging for your walk with Jesus.
