It has been quite a busy last few weeks for me, Stacey, and the ccoc youth group.  But it has been a good last couple of weeks.

We had a great time at Camp of the Hills and I was blessed by seeing our kids step up to the challenge of not just being there but being there with the sole purpose of loving the kids in their proximity as much as possible.  I am immeasurably blessed that we have kids in the youth group that have bought into the vision and dream of making this world more than just about them and of being committed to making the world a better place. In short, I love having kids that really want to “help the kingdom of God break out in new places” (our youth group motto). Thank you for that inspiration Jesus!

And yesterday we had a great trip down to Schlitterbahn.  Even poison ivy and 101′ temperatures couldn’t quell the fun we had being together all day.  I am so grateful to have a group that gets along and enjoys spending time with one another.  It was one of only 3 or 4 times in the last 10 months that we have done something just for us but even in that I appreciate the Christian community of love and concern that is forming between our kids.  They are not just kids who go to the same church; they are becoming one.  Praise God!

Thanks for hanging in there with my inconsistency…
