Every summer, our church conducts a two-week Bible camp for kids in our area. One of the highlights is our annual trip to a local water park. It's a great park. It has all the big slides, wave pools, and raft rides you could want. As a result, it is very popular and very crowded. One of the challenges we face is getting everyone in our group through the front gate as easily as possible. This year our Christian education director came up with a great solution. She bought a roll of temporary tattoos in the shape of a cross from a local Christian bookstore. Before we left, we got all the kids and adults together and put a temporary tattoo on their arms, cheeks, foreheads or wherever else requested. When we got to the park, we simply told the attendant, "All the people with crosses are ours." We had put our stamp of ownership on all our campers, just as God has put a stamp of ownership on all of us.
