Sunday Afternoon Reflections

It was a fun week at a camp, a quiet weekend, and an awesome morning at church today.

• I loved spending the week with the children at camp. Their energy and zeal for life and fun is contagious. I also loved the fun with the other camp leaders.
  
• I'm missing Macy like crazy. She is up in North Carolina with some other women from our church for a long weekend.
• I've taught 9 times in the last 7 days!
• I had the privilege to speak to our Connected Single Adult Ministry this morning. I taught on Nehemiah and his prayer for success. The Big Idea: success is being used by God for His glory. That's my prayer - God use me!
  
• Just got off the phone with Macy and missing her even more. It's been almost a week now since I've seen her!
• Ordered a RoadID braclet for running yesterday. I started thinking if something happened to me while I was running, nobody would know who I was. I know, pretty weird thought, but it's true. Plus, I know it will make Macy feel better.
  
• I'm into week 4 of my hundred push-ups program. Not sure I'll be able to 100 push ups in a couple of weeks, but we'll see. I know I'm feeling a lot stronger and can do more push ups now then 4 weeks ago by a mile.
• Hits to my blog tripled this past week! Could it be all those parents checking out the pictures of their kids at camp?
• Have I mentioned how much I miss Macy?! Can't wait until tomorrow night!!!!

Got to go do some push ups!

Camp Update - Tuesday Night

When will it will stop raining?

We have not seen the sunshine here at Camp McG since Monday evening. And for most of the day today it has been raining. And it rained really hard right before our Evening Worship time tonight. We had a lot of wet kids in there. It's an interesting smell when you get a bunch of wet kids in a pretty warm room. I'll stop there and leave the rest to your imagination. But hey, what's camp with out a little funk?

FYI: I added more pics to my post from yesterday (including pic of the "Big C" at the top of this post). There are now pictures from AM and PM (over 60 photos).

I'm having a blast doing the messages during our worship services, both morning and evening. Three down and only four to go. So far we have covered character, calling and courage. We looked at the character of Stephen, the calling of Peter and Andrew, and the courage of Joshua. Pray that God will challenge the kids through His Word this week in a powerful way. Pray that their commitment to Christ will grow deeper. Pray that they will establish strong relationships with our adult counselors and with other children. Pray that it will stop raining!

Miss Dawn - we miss you!
