Friday @ Camp

After my all-nighter landed me at breakfast, I slept for an hour and a half before the camp's final service. Then it was lunch time and people headed home. I was one of the last one's to leave. After saying goodbye to Aaron and his dad, I cleaned out my room and loaded the car. We left around 1:20. We stopped to play mini-golf on the way home. Then I returned the two teens I was transporting to their homes and my sister and I pulled into our own driveway right at 5pm. Here are some random recaps

Great camp attendance for our church once again
Great sermons and studies from pastor symonds
Great ping pong action, I ended on a hot streak
I ended up with only 32 glasses of chocolate milk
I provoked a crazy few hours of joking about cows
I lost 10 years of maturity and had 7 dumb crushes
I had 1 un-dumb interest
I kept the 1 all nighter tradition alive


God spoke one key message to me throughout the week:
Faith isn't trusting God to _____
Faith is trusting God

I don't know about pastor.

Liz gave me "New Testament".
I read it every night.

a pastor is like a teacher. but instead of teaching math or science, a pastor teaches about God and God's love. A pastor uses the Bible to teach.

A pastor is like a shepherd who takes care of sheep. He cares about the people in his town and tries to help them have a good life.

Okay, what was that about the 7 dumb crushes and one undumb interest???

matthew said...

Depends on who's asking :)

But since I consider you, anonymous, a very close friend, I'll tell you the truth. There was 1 girl at camp I've always liked, so i don't consider that a fickle crush
