Submerge

I will be at Submerge Summer Camp for the next week, in Sandestin Florida. Please pray for the staff, kids and all of the churches traveling to be a part of it. Over 900 junior high and highschool kids from 18 churches are coming to get away and experience God at a new level. It's gonna be awesome.

Quite a reminder...

I wear a bracelet from Africa that I bought from one of the Care Point cooks. It reminds me to pray for Africa, the children and the missionaries there. Now that its been about a month since Africa, the passion and compassion that I felt there and when I got home has become a little dull and my memories of the kids a little fuzzy. But when I read this on Dan's blog it's like everything came flooding back. -

ezekiel 16:49 tells what God sees as the ultimate sin of sodom. you know, the city that we all remember for its debauchery and vulgarity and all? well, here's what ezekiel 16:49 says:

"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."

Wow.

Live from Pamper Night

So I am blogging live from Pamper night right now. I am one of about 5 guys here in the middle of 400 women. HP Women has put on the pamper night to provide free haircuts, facials, pedicures, massages...all that girl stuff. I am in the sound booth with Blake, Toby and Brian. There is also a lot of girly food and some punch, which they serve in those tiny little plastic cups. So Toby decided to take things into his own hands. He takes my empty coke bottle downstairs and, to the shock of all of the women, fills up the entire bottle in the punch fountain! It was great. It was our "man cup". You gotta do what you gotta do...

A good laugh

This really cracked me up. The best part is the crazy lady laughing as the kid is holding on for life!

Summertime and the livin's easy

Sorry for all you faithfull readers out there (if there are any) - summer has really taken its toll on my blogging. I am really enjoying my summer, having a little time off and being able to spend some time with family and friends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am a counselor at HPC staff kids Summer Camp with 17 of the funniest kids I have ever met. Angela Musso has the great honor of being a couselor with me. (It's really the other way around - she brings lunch every day!)
Having time off has been great, but I honestly miss Elevate, the structure it brings to my life and the other people in it. The first year of Elevate has honestly been the best year of my life and I'm really looking forward to the second year. It has its ups and downs, but thats life.
