I would not be a good friend if I didn’t take the time to share this with you.  I promise it is worth the watch.  As you know we are up at camp this weekend and on the first night you have the obligatory “go over the rules talk”.  This year we did it a bit different.  Check this out.  Hilarity is included for free.

Your Welcome.

My poor wife.  First off, she has to deal with me, but then on top of that there are so many times when I am out and about, away from home.  It seems that only when I’m away do I get texts like this one:

Text 1:  “Just saw a possum right up against the back door glass… lovely!!!!”

Text 2:  “Yeah just figured out why he was hanging around.  He was eating through our garbage u left on the driveway… He went for the P.F. Changs leftover box…”

Ah… Life is never dull around here.  Just thought I had to share this one… As I said, only when I’m away does this stuff happen.

Oh and here are a couple possum pics…

 

In a few short hours our Senior High youth group will gather together and pack up the church van, load up the bus and head on up to Glen Spey, NY for our winter retreat!  It is going to be a really awesome trip.  Our theme for this year is: Wake Up.  I am super excited about our speaker this year.  His name is Clint Ussher.  Clint has been given the task of challenging our students to wake up; to wake up to what God has for them!  This is going to be an exciting weekend.

Will you pray for us?

Here are a few things that you can pray for…

1. Pray for safety as we travel. We are headed to New York State.  You never know what kind of weather you are going to get up there!

2. Pray for the hearts of teenagers.  Would you pray that their hearts would be open to hear what God is trying to say to them?  Often times it is on a weekend away where there are less distractions that we get a chance to actually hear what God is saying.

3. Pray for no distractions! Distractions can come in all forms.  Will you please pray that there would be no distractions this weekend?  That means no girl drama, and no smelly guy gas!

4. Pray for fun! One of the other reasons we get away together is to just flat out have fun!  Pray that we have fun, and lots of it!

Thanks!
