Today is Friday. Finishing up my messages that I will be sharing with the kids at camp. Keep me and our whole camp in your prayers. If you're reading this, you were lucky enough to spend the night in your home and shower without flip-flops on. We need your prayers, you lucky dogs.
Camp. What a powerful week in the spiritual development of a young person, or even us older ones for that matter. I think in today's world, camp is even more important than it was when I was a kid. Back in the 70's and 80's when I went to camp, it was mostly one of those KUMBAYAH sorts of things, kinda like one of those old Coca-Cola commercials where we wanted to teach the whole world to sing in perfect harmony. But today, given what kids live in, camp as an expression of family, and even as an expression of the early church; carries much more weight than it used to. I think camp presents an alternative or maybe better, an ideal for Christian living that so many kids have never gotten to experience as they struggle for survival in their own environments. Sort of like maybe taking the Stars Wars series back to the 30's and showing it instead of Charlie Chaplin.
Some kids are just forced to grow up in crap. Not just economically, but culturally and morally and theologically. So pray with me...Pray that our Father will reveal Himself in ways that meet our kids where their deepest needs reside. Thanks. jeff

This is just one of those places where all that stuff I couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't say on Sunday finally gets to come out. That, and a whole lot of other stuff you may or may not want to know.
