Lost

Well, on the night of my son's board of review for his Eagle Scout award, I went with him and took my camera. There was another big meeting going on at the church, a post-girl's camp meeting. Right before we left to go home, I quickly went to use the restroom. Then we all went home. I haven't seen my camera since then. I am so depressed about it and have searched everywhere. I don't know for sure that I left it there, but I have searched the house and car and can't find it anywhere. I know it wasn't in the car that was broken in to because we didn't take that car. I went out to that church building tonight to check the lost and found. Nothing.... I put up some signs telling that I had lost the camera. Like I said, I don't even know for sure that I left it there, but that is the only place I can think it might be. I would hate to think that any of the young girls found it and took it, but I guess we all are subject to temptation, and maybe that was too much for one of them. I'm praying I get it back, but I know that if it was taken, another person's free agency comes in to play. Part of me thinks maybe I just liked it too much and I shouldn't have gotten attached to such a worldly thing, so maybe in some way this is to teach me a lesson. I dont' know, but I sure hope it turns up.

The same thing happened to me last year, and it is so disappointing. I took my camera to seminary on Halloween and when I unpacked my bag, it was nowhere to be found. I scoured the church twice, talked to the "cleaning" people, and talked with all the seminary kids, but no luck. So, I made do with our old film camera (and I discovered that you can get the pictures recorded digitally on a cd when they're processed), until hubby got me a new one for Christmas. I sure hope yours turns up soon and that it was just hiding somewhere.

Hey D!

It is terrible when we lose something...but we shouldn't let get to us, cause after all it is just a camera.

I have tried to analyse why we get so upset when we lose things: it is because we got attached to it, or is it because of the money spent on it; or even because of the time invested taking care of it? I still don't know...but I will keep investigating!

I hope the camera turns up! :D

Cheers
