Camp

I had the blessed privilege to go to summer camp with our High School Youth this last week... it's been a long time since I was at camp. In fact, as we were driving up on Wednesday I realized that the last time I went to camp as a counselor/pastor was 6 years ago in 2002 - it really is amazing how fast time goes by!

Spending 4 days with 400+ teens is... interesting! Actually it was a great time, and amazingly I slept very well.

One of the things that really stood out to me this last week was the passion that the youth have in worship. Sure there is always a group that just get caught up in the 'concert' like setting of worship at camp, but at the same time I really was blessed by what appeared to be genuine passion for God in worship.

On another note ~ tonight we finished the Old Testament in our line upon line study at CCESCO. I started teaching a book a week through the bible exactly a year ago tonight (Aug. 11, 2007) and tonight we did Malachi. I was really encouraged as I read through and studied Malachi this week, if you get a chance check it out at lineuponline.com.
